number ICMP messages sent per second (rate) times the ICMP
packet size. To some sys admins, just controlling the rate is
not good enough for them to handle DoS situation.
The max size is already set by the RFCs. You don't make your reply
larger than 576 octets.
Are you saying that a sys admin should not be allowed
to lower the max?
