The IPv6 ICMP feature enables control over the error and informational
message rate for IPv6 traffic, which can help mitigate the effects of a Denial-
of-service attack. Ping6 enables verification of access to a specific IPv6 device,
and traceroute6 enables tracing the route to an IPv6-enabled device on the
network.

ICMP Rate-Limiting

ICMP rate-limiting controls the rate at which ICMPv6 generates error and
informational messages for features such as:

■

neighbor solicitations

■

neighbor advertisements

■

multicast listener discovery (MLD)

■

path MTU discovery (PMTU)

■

duplicate address discovery (DAD)

■

neighbor unreachability detection (NUD)

■

router discovery

■

neighbor discovery (NDP)

ICMPv6 error message generation is enabled by default. The rate of message
generation can be adjusted, or message generation can be disabled.
