I was wondering... when setting the value of net.inet.icmp.icmplim, what should a person keep in mind? In other words, what various things would this limit? From what I can tell, the default is "100", but is there any reason why I couldn't set this to 25, just to be "a bit extra safe"? Will the interfere with normal services such as ssh, ftp, www, irc, etc?
