Subject: Enable and configure storm prevention in a network device

Hello Netdev experts,

Is there a standard way to implement and configure storm prevention in a Linux
network device?

Our NIC firmware has the capability to enable storm prevention which is implemented
using a credit based scheme. The configuration is how many number of multicast +
broadcast packets allowed in a certain period of time. Is there a standard way
of passing this information from user space to driver? 

Thanks in advance for your input!
