In certain 802.11 wireless deployments, there will be NA proxies
that use knowledge of the network to correctly answer requests.
To prevent unsolicitd advertisements on the shared medium from
being a problem, on such deployments wireless needs to drop them.
Enable this by providing an option called "drop_unsolicited_na".

By default this is turned off.
+drop_unsolicited_na - BOOLEAN
+ Drop all unsolicited neighbor advertisements, for example if there's
+ a known good NA proxy on the network and such frames need not be used
+ (or in the case of 802.11, must not be used to prevent attacks.)
+
+ By default this is turned off.

icmp/*:
ratelimit - INTEGER
Limit the maximal rates for sending ICMPv6 packets.
