Dynamic IP Tables
Does anyone know if it is possible using iptables, to say if there is more than x icmp packets in x amount of time to start to block icmp packets?

This module matches at a limited rate using a token bucket filter. A rule using this extension will match until
this limit is reached (unless the `!' flag is used). It can be used in combination with the LOG target to give
limited logging, for example.
–limit rate
Maximum average matching rate: specified as a number, with an optional
/second',
/minute', `/hour', or`/day' suffix; the default is 3/hour.
--limit-burst number
Maximum initial number of packets to match: this number gets recharged by one every time the limit specified
above is not reached, up to this number; the default is 5.
