There seems to be no knob to limit outgoing icmp's (redirects, no route, and the like). Wouldn't it be the case to add a sysctl variable to rate-limit or disable such messages ? I do not think it makes a lot of sense to let our routers become reflectors for certain types of DoS attacks. cheers luigi ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO, luigi@iet.unipi.it .
