Limit ping

How to set limit on icmp ping request/response ? Usually either we fully allow ping to our Linux server or we prefer to block ping to our server completely. I think ideally we should allow limited ping to our server so that ping connectivity check remain open without making Server vulnerable to ping attacks.

I tried with following iptables rules . These rules intend to allow only one icmp ping packet per second


So what you think ? Am I correct here ? Or something I missed .

If you are not sure , try to apply above given rules to your Linux Server and check by pinging your server from outside .
