Section 15.3 in the Cookbook presents a way of using tc for rate limiting ICMP. It can also be done using the --limit feature in netfilter. What are the pros and cons of both approaches? Or should they be combined somehow?

Who can share his opinion on this matter? Receiving *no answer at all* usually means one of 2 things: 1) extremely ignorant question, not even worth a lousy RTFM reply :-( 2) brilliant question, nobody ever came up with such a marvelous idea :-) I don''t think it''s 2), so if the answer is 1), then please enlighten me!
