Hi All,

Pardon if this has been posted.

What is really the behavior of the system when
it rate limit icmp (e.g. ICMP response)? Does it
drop the excess of the outbound ICMP responses? If so,
is their a way to see dropped responses from logs or other
mechanism? Can this be turned-on at the inbound? Rate limit
incoming ICMP request?

Did someone experienced system reboots/hangup from this? I've
search gnats but I coudn't find bugs related to this.

Thanks,
sho
