If we decide to keep the Timer-based method, another problem is to decide the value of T (not more than one icmp to a given source every T milliseconds). 1 ms might be overwhelming for a 64 kpbs link and 100 ms will be over-restricting for 10 gbps link.
What about we keep the Timer-based method, discuss the advantages and disadvantages and suggest keeping the value of T configurable per link so that the administrator can decide the correct value of T based on the bandwidth of the link. Do we all agree to remove the Bandwidth-based method ??
