Quoting Ian McDonald: | Will have to read more about rate limiting though as I'm | not convinced normally about rate limiting schemes etc as they | invariably end up causing problems when doing things like running a | huge server with lots of connections. However as I said, haven't read | it yet so might be wrong on your intent. RFC 4340. 7.5.4 says that this rate-limiting is a SHOULD. I had similar thoughts in mind regarding the overhead that this mechanism incurs. That is why it is kept as simple as possible. Something like xrlim_allow is already too complicated (cf. comments). - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe dccp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
