suppose a limit for pings with limit=1/s and limit burst=5

first 5 pings will pass, then, if you have a 2s timeout with the ping, youll
get 3 of 5 pings

this is first you need to "full" the burst counter, then if no activity is
received the burst will start to decrease until a new unit could match.

did you saw this?
