From 6dbf4bcac98bbc76ef425b3a2b4169f31199f6c7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2008 19:29:07 -0700 Subject: icmp: fix units for ratelimit Convert the sysctl values for icmp ratelimit to use milliseconds instead of jiffies which is based on kernel configured HZ. Internal kernel jiffies are not a proper unit for any userspace API. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger Signed-off-by: David S.
