Configuring IPv6 ICMP

As with the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) for IPv4, ICMP for IPv6 provides error and
informational messages. Brocade's implementation of the stateless autoconfiguration, neighbor
discovery, and path MTU discovery features use ICMP messages.
This section explains how to configure the following IPv6 ICMP features:

Configuring ICMP rate limiting

You can limit the rate at which IPv6 ICMP error messages are sent out on a network. IPv6 ICMP
implements a token bucket algorithm.
To illustrate how this algorithm works, imagine a virtual bucket that contains a number of tokens.
Each token represents the ability to send one ICMP error message. Tokens are placed in the bucket
at a specified interval until the maximum number of tokens allowed in the bucket is reached. For
each error message that ICMP sends, a token is removed from the bucket. If ICMP generates a
series of error messages, messages can be sent until the bucket is empty. If the bucket is empty of
tokens, error messages cannot be sent until a new token is placed in the bucket.
You can adjust the following elements related to the token bucket algorithm:
