Disagree. You are of course free to use whatever rate you want between your own end points. If you want a response from routers on the public Internet, you should *expect* this to be rate limited. I certainly don't think that a 0.1s interval is appropriate - and configure control plane policing on "my" routers accordingly. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sth...@nethelp.no
