What are the effects of options ip.ping_throttle.drop_level 0 on the system environment?

• The ping throttling mechanism was introduced to mitigate risks from denial of service attacks based on the ICMP protocol.
• The existing ping throttling mechanism uses the value stored in the option ip.ping_throttle.drop_level option to obtain a threshold of packets to accept before dropping packets, in a one-second interval.
• NetApp does not currently have a recommended value to set ip.ping_throttle.drop_level.
• The default value is 150. The value can be increased to a higher value.
• The option ip.ping_throttle.drop_level setting is not as per client; however, it is for all clients. The max limit is 4294967295.
• The reason that NetApp does not recommend any value in environments with many CIFS clients is that a threshold exceeds easily.
• As a result, CIFS clients experience temporary to persistent unavailability of the appliance. 
• Set  ip.ping_throttle.drop_level option between 50 to 150 and increase if an issue arises.
• To allow clients to send more than 16 packets per second, disable ping throttling. Run the following command to disable this option:

options ip.ping_throttle.drop_level 0

• After ONTAP 9.3+, the node shell command was deprecated for this new cluster-sell option:
