According to Cisco, there's service impact if the rate-limit is enabled.
"The performance impact of CAR is dependent on the number of CAR rules
applied. The performance impact is also greated on engine 1 linecards, then
engine 0 linecards"

So I worry about if this rate-limit is feasible. Yes, there's service impact
as well if I totally block the ICMP. So anybody has some experience to share
for the NSP/ISP network?

Thanks,

Permit ICMP (with rate-limiting). Really.

It sucks so much if you can't do traceroute/ping to figure out why your
customers can't reach some web server hosted at some other ISP because
they have broken network diagnostics on purpose (read: deny ICMP).
