ICMP(v6) filtering?

I would like to whitelist ICMPv6 to all hosts in our network, even if the
TCP/UDP ports are currently filtered statefully and need explicit whitelisting.
But is there a cunning plan to stop address sweeping attacks that cause a lot
of neighbor solicitations and cache entries? We already have this problem with
IPv4, given that we have quite a bit of unused (legacy) space. Is the only
level to solve that some kind of IDS/IPS? Or is there also a way to rate-limit
such traffic? (Possibly at the expence of some legitimate neighbor
solicitations.)

Kind regards
