Hi,

extending my IPv6-howto with information about the /proc-FS I found
that there is no setting for ICMPv6 rate limiting.

But in "ipv6/icmp.c" there are some " if (net_ratelimit())" calls.

How can this limit be controlled? Is it the
        "/proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_ratelimit"
switch?

I see no reaction turning the value from 1 to 10000 and running a 
              ping6 -i 0.1 ::1


TIA,
 Peter
