This is to avoid DOS attacks using RAs from being bombarded onto a linux machine.

You have malicious users on your LAN and cannot do anything against
them?
(RAs are link local communication and should not pass over routers,
thus, RAs must originate in the local network).

Thanks Marc. This is a requirement.
Thus I will conclude that the kernel doesn't limit the number of RAs. I
have to figure out a way to do this from user space.
