3.�IPv6-related entries in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/

3.1.�ip_*

3.1.1.�ip_local_port_range

This control setting is used by IPv6 also.

3.2.�tcp_*

This control settings are used by IPv6 also.

3.3.�icmp_*

This control settings are not used by IPv6. To enable ICMPv6 rate limiting (which is very recommended because of the capability of ICMPv6 storms) netfilter-v6 rules must be used.

3.4.�others

Unknown, but probably not used by IPv6.
