Subject: ICMPv6: Rate Limiting Configuration Per-Node or Per-Interfaces


I think the discussion about the ICMPv6 rate limiting is
going in all directions and we are not going anywhere 
near the consensus.  This email is my effort to bring
some consensus on the issues.

I think everyone agrees that per-interface configuration
would be a perfect solution and will provide a fine grained
control to the user.  Is there anyone who disagrees with
this ? (Pekka ??)

The argument that I see from people (Pekka, Me, Havard)
is that is it really worth the efforts to implement/
configure it or per-node configuration is good enough
operationally.  This is why we are suggesting it to
be a MAY.

Now instead of going into all the reasons/arguments
and deviating the discussions from one direction to
the other, could people please send their preferences ?

So the question is:

In your opinion (no reasoning please), the rate limiting
configuration per-interface in the ICMPv6 spec should be a

1) SHOULD
2) MAY
3) Any of them is fine for you.

My choice is 3.
