Hi,

this came up on the console, presumably because
I have the ICMP_BANDLIM options in my kernel:

icmp-response bandwidth limit 118/100 pps
icmp-response bandwidth limit 106/100 pps
icmp-response bandwidth limit 101/100 pps
icmp-response bandwidth limit 112/100 pps
icmp-response bandwidth limit 120/100 pps
.......

which sort of raises a few question :-)

1. is there any way of raising the built-in limit
to, say, 120 (whatever that number means), and if yes,
is there a risk of being "pinged-out"
2. is there any way of catching the IP from which 
the flood ping is coming from ?
3. should I ask on -security ?
