I don't think so. With "--limit 2000/s --limit-burst 1" I can pass much
more than one packet per second (but no more than 1000 per second with
HZ=1000).
In fact, kernel doesn't even get this information, it works only with
rate and it gets exactly the same value from iptables command with e.g.
'3600/h', '60/m' and '1/s'.
