May be. I should try. Thanks.

Limit a host's traffic to, let's say, 8.5kpps, drop any "exceeded" packet.

I guess, dstlimit will not help me too :-(

Limiting such a rates on firewalls seems to be too expensive and i don't
mention a firewall (iptables) as a tool for doing that.


No, surely, i am asking for help :-) Is there any tools, which can handle
and limit such pps rates?


-m limit, if i can remember, accepts limits up to 10k, but it seems to be
*terribly* wrong on limiting that... I wish i would be incorrect...
