Description dima 2000-12-23 03:30:01 UTC 
The kernel limits ICMP and TCP RST responses to lessen the effect of
denial of service attacks and other malicious practices.  The message
emmited when the limit takes effect is something like "icmp-response
bandwidth limit 300/200 pps".  For some reason, the "response" part
escapes people the they read it, causing them to think their bandwidth
is limited, and complain on freebsd-questions.

Fix: Apply the following patch to doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml.
How-To-Repeat: 
Read freebsd-questions for a while.
