If you want to ask your peers to include ICMP data in their ICP
replies, enable this option.
If your peer has configured Squid (during compilation) with
'--enable-icmp' that peer will send ICMP pings to origin server
sites of the URLs it receives. If you enable this option the
ICP replies from that peer will include the ICMP data (if available).
Then, when choosing a parent cache, Squid will choose the parent with
the minimal RTT to the origin server. When this happens, the
hierarchy field of the access.log will be
"CLOSEST_PARENT_MISS". This option is off by default.
