For ICMP, specifically, there's a sysctl to control the rate (per second): # sysctl -d net.inet.icmp.icmplim net.inet.icmp.icmplim: Maximum number of ICMP responses per second For everything else, you'd want to use dummynet(4). -- Freddie Cash fjwc...@gmail.com mailto:fjwc...@gmail.com Hi As Freddie said, for ICMP protocal, actually it comes with this 'PPS' feature. So I just double checked the source code of ip_icmp.c file because I dont know this before. And suddenly a question came into my mind. Why I dont know it before Yes, I can list down all the sysctl option by `sysctl -a` command, But we dont have any page which introduced all the options, root@FB10Head:~ # sysctl -a | grep rexmit_min net.inet.tcp.rexmit_min: 30 root@FB10Head:~ # sysctl -a | grep icmplim net.inet.icmp.icmplim: 200 net.inet.icmp.icmplim_output: 1 root@FB10Head:~ # sysctl -a | wc -l 4120 root@FB10Head:~ # So, more than 4000 options!!!

Thanks for your reply, and it is good to know the sysctl
for ICMP.
finally it works.I just added a new `action` in firewall and
it is called `pps`, that means it can be generic purpose
while the net.inet.icmp.icmplim is only for ICMP traffic.
the usage will be like below
root@F10:/usr/src/sbin/ipfw # .*/ipfw add pps 1 icmp from
any to any*
00100 pps 1 icmp from any to any
root@F10:/usr/src/sbin/ipfw # ./ipfw show

???hi,
as julian said it would be great if you would like to share your
code
so we can integrate it in future ipfw releases.
Once again citing Julian, dummynet is a bit of a superset of pps but
not exactly, so i see value in the additional feature.
One thing ???to keep in mind in the implementation:
the burst size used for limiting is an important parameter that
everyone forgets. 1 pps is basically don't bother me.
1000 pps could be 1000 packets every fixed 1-sec interval
or 1 packet every ms or (this is more difficult)
20 pkt in the last 50ms interval.
If i were to implement the feature i would add two parameters
(burst, I_max) with reasonable defaults and compute the internal
interval and max_count as follows
if (burst max_pps * I_max)
burst = max_pps * I_max; // make sure it is not too large
else if (burst max_pps / HZ)
burst = max_pps * HZ;// nor too small
max_count = max_pps / burst;
interval = HZ * burst / max_pps;
count = 0; // actual counter
then add { max_count, interval, timestamp, count } to the rule
descriptor.
On incoming packets:
if (ticks= r-interval + r-timestamp) {
r-timestamp = r-ticks;
r-count = 1;
return ACCEPT;

if (r-count r-max_count)

Hi Luigi,
You are right, it will be more generic if provide two parameters
as you described,
But this PPS feature should not be used to control the traffic
rate, the dummynet you provided is the correct way.
So I am thinking in what kind of scenario, people need this PPS
feature?
in my opinion, people will use PPS only when they want to limit
the connections/transactions numbers. ( already have limit
command to limit the connections)
So I think provide a simple PPS feature is good enough, and we
can improve it if someone complaint on this.
???pps has a strong reason to exist because it is a lot cheaper
than a dummynet pipe, and given its pur???pose is to police
traffic (icmp, dns requests, etc) which should not even
get close to the limit which is set, I think it is
a completely reasonable feature to have.
Given that the above code is the complete implementation
with the two parameters (burst and interval) there is no
reason not to use them, at least internally.
Then you could choose not to expose them as part of the
user interface (though since you are implementing a new
option from scratch, it is completely trivial to
parse 1, 2 or 3 arguments and set defaults for the others).
cheers

OK, PPS with 2 parameters , it is done,
But how to get the current time in millisecond?
any recommendation?
In order to get the millisecond, i tried to include the timeb.h but i
met below
FreeBSD has a global kernel variable called ticks which increments
(roughly) HZ times per second and is all you need for this
kind of coarse estimates.
In linux there is something similar (jiffies maybe ?),
and the code to build ipfw on linux does some reasonable
mapping.
The code i posted is, i believe, complete and contains
all the details.

can you clean up the formatting and style

Also there are several things to fix:
- please use { } even for blocks with a single statement
- please make count and duration 32 bit values. 16 bits are way
too little for count, and there is no point to be stingy with count
- count should not be incremented upon a 'DENY' or it could wrap
(very risky for 16-bit values);

hi,
as julian said it would be great if you would like to share your code
so we can integrate it in future ipfw releases.
Once again citing Julian, dummynet is a bit of a superset of pps but
not exactly, so i see value in the additional feature.
One thing to keep in mind in the implementation:
the burst size used for limiting is an important parameter that
everyone forgets. 1 pps is basically don't bother me.
1000 pps could be 1000 packets every fixed 1-sec interval
or 1 packet every ms or (this is more difficult)
20 pkt in the last 50ms interval.
If i were to implement the feature i would add two parameters
(burst, I_max) with reasonable defaults and compute the internal
interval and max_count as follows
if (burst max_pps * I_max)
burst = max_pps * I_max; // make sure it is not too large
else if (burst max_pps / HZ)
burst = max_pps * HZ;// nor too small
max_count = max_pps / burst;
interval = HZ * burst / max_pps;
count = 0; // actual counter
then add { max_count, interval, timestamp, count } to the rule
descriptor.
On incoming packets:
if (ticks = r-interval + r-timestamp) {
r-timestamp = r-ticks;
r-count = 1;
return ACCEPT;
}
if (r-count r-max_count)
return DENY;
r-count++;
return ACCEPT;

Hi Luigi,
You are right, it will be more generic if provide two parameters
as you described,
But this PPS feature should not be used to control the traffic
rate, the dummynet you provided is the correct way.
So I am thinking in what kind of scenario, people need this PPS
feature?
in my opinion, people will use PPS only when they want to limit
the connections/transactions numbers. ( already have limit command
to limit the connections)
So I think provide a simple PPS feature is good enough, and we can
improve it if someone complaint on this.
pps has a strong reason to exist because it is a lot cheaper
than a dummynet pipe, and given its purpose is to police
traffic (icmp, dns requests, etc) which should not even
get close to the limit which is set, I think it is
a completely reasonable feature to have.
Given that the above code is the complete implementation
with the two parameters (burst and interval) there is no
reason not to use them, at least internally.
Then you could choose not to expose them as part of the
user interface (though since you are implementing a new
option from scratch, it is completely trivial to
parse 1, 2 or 3 arguments and set defaults for the others).
cheers

OK, PPS with 2 parameters , it is done,
But how to get the current time in millisecond?
any recommendation?

Re: feature of `packet per second`
I was coding it in dummynet way yesterday, Personally I prefer to add it as a new action. By the way, Is there anybody want to say something about the ip_fw.h? there are two ip_fw.h files, one in /sys/netinet/ another in usr/include/netinet, it is better to remove one of it , or create a soft link instread?
