error_burst and error_cost
--------------------------
These parameters are used to limit the warning messages written to the kernel
log from the routing code. The higher the error_cost factor is, the fewer
messages will be written. Error_burst controls when messages will be dropped.
The default settings limit warning messages to one every five seconds.
These parameters are used to limit how many ICMP destination unreachable to
send from the host in question. ICMP destination unreachable messages are
sent when we can not reach the next hop, while trying to transmit a packet.
It will also print some error messages to kernel logs if someone is ignoring
our ICMP redirects. The higher the error_cost factor is, the fewer
destination unreachable and error messages will be let through. Error_burst
controls when destination unreachable messages and error messages will be
dropped. The default settings limit warning messages to five every second.
