from the linux kernel Documentation
<quote src="linux-2.4/Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt">

icmp_destunreach_rate, icmp_echoreply_rate, icmp_paramprob_rate and
icmp_timeexeed_rate
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sets limits  for  sending  ICMP  packets  to specific targets. A value
of zero disables all  limiting.  Any  positive  value sets the maximum
package rate in hundredth of a second (on Intel systems).
