Allow Check Point to accept and respond to traceroute

I know that by default Check Point will not accept a traceroute, whether it is the RFC standard or the Microsoft bastardized version.

For routing and latency troubleshooting purposes what is the best way to allow a Check Point appliance to accept and send the response to a traceroute, whether it is the UDP or Microsoft version?  I see the tracerroute object is for the UNIX UDP standard.  I have a utility that installs in MS Windows that will do a UDP traceroute but it doesn't follow the RFC UDP ports.  Any suggestions?

Windows traceroute is ICMP-based with a short TTL.
That means allowing ICMP Echo Request in the policy.

Do I allow the icmp echo requests to the actual IP on the firewall itself, even if that is not the destination of the trace?  Same thing for the UDP traceroute.

Just the destination of the actual traceroute in either case.
