What does "show mls rate-limit usage" show for GLEAN What does "show mls qos protocol" show for ARP
"mls qos protocol police arp" is what you want to be using to rate limit ARP requests at L2. This white paper goes into the hardware rate-limiters, as well as CoPP on the 6500: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/switches/ps5718/ps708/white_paper _c11_553261.html There could still be a bug, all the above testing was done with the latest SXH release.
