"limit-burst (integer; default: 0) - allowed burst regarding the limit-count/limit-time, measuret in bits/s
limit-count (integer; default: 0) - how many times to use the rule during the limit-time period
limit-time (time; default: 0) - time interval measured in seconds, used in conjunction with limit-count
0 - forever"
Can anybody explain how these settings relate to say a connection limit?
Would I be right in thinking if you set a connection limit of 5 new connections with a limit-burst 100 limit-count 1 limit-time 1
would that allow only 5 new connections to be opened each second with a total bandwidth of 100 bits/s per IP?
Also when burst is specified do they mean the bandwidth overhead used for the connections to be opened in the sense of data transfer or system processing?
