 ICMP error messages that exceeded the value are subject to rate limitation
 and will not go out from the node.
 Negative value disables rate limitation.
+.It Li icmp.rediraccept
+If set to non-zero, the host will accept ICMP redirect packets.
+Note that routers will never accept ICMP redirect packets,
+and the variable is meaningful on IP hosts only.
+.It Li icmp.redirtimeout
+The variable specifies lifetime of routing entries generated by incoming
+ICMP redirect.  This defaults to zero;  if the system is not running
+a routing daemon like 
+.Xr routed 8
+than this value can be set to remove the routes added by redirect.
+A reasonable value to use would be 600 seconds.
 .It Li tcp.rfc1323
 Returns 1 if RFC1323 extensions to TCP are enabled.
