: :> I really do not want to throw multiple externs into the code, and I :> can't localize the rate limit to the icmp module because there is a :> critical piece in the tcp module that rate-limits dropwithreset for :> SYN's received to non-existent ports (a common attack mode) which has :> nothing to do with ICMP packets. : :In that case, the prototype shouldn't be declared in an icmp header and :the option name shouldn't begin with ICMP. : :Bruce Well, most uses of the code are related to ICMP responses. The TCP case is a special case. Boy, that's real helpful Bruce.
