Hi,

how to control logging rate using "-m limit --limit" combination.

I want to limit the number of packets logged to one packet per second
(1/s). For this I am using below rules and it is not working.

iptables -A INPUT -d 10.255.13.157  -m limit --limit 1/sec -j NFLOG
--nflog-group 1

what value i have to use for --limit and ----limit-burst to get the 1
packets logged per second.

Thanks and regards,
Adishesh

What exactly does "is not working" mean? My guess is that iptables 
complains about missing --limit-burst value. If you really don't want 
more than one message per second, try 1, but for a real-world 
configuration I would suggest a bit more.
