Good, but for what is the "--limit-burst" parameter? And this 10 massages, are they the first massages received or only 1 in 6 seconds?
The best explanation I've seen so far was something like this:
For every "limit" rule, there's a "bucket" containing "tokens"; whenever the rule matches, a token is removed; when the token count reaches zero, the rule doesn't match anymore.
"--limit" is the bucket refill rate. "--limit-burst" is the bucket size (number of tokens that fit). Thats really easy to understand :D Thx Markus
