The above comment has nothing to do with 6500/7600 or IOS version.  It is
pointing out a documentation error with no feedback button on that page.
Just review the left hand links.  The 5th link from the top which states
"IP Multicast Commands: ip multicast rate-limit through ip urd" is
incorrect and should state "IP Multicast Commands: ip multicast
route-limit through ip urd"

I filled out the feedback one on this page since it too has documentation
errors.
