icmp packets - disabling via sysctl, or cisco switch ... ?

[User Freebsd]

Just an appendum, but this is what I'm seeing in /var/log/messages right 
now:

Jul 28 00:22:37 io kernel: Limiting icmp unreach response from 6255 to 200 packets/sec
Jul 28 00:22:38 io kernel: Limiting icmp unreach response from 6515 to 200 packets/sec
Jul 28 00:22:39 io kernel: Limiting icmp unreach response from 6646 to 200 packets/sec
^C

And its been going on for several hours now ... :(
