Hi

What is --rateest-interval and --rateest-ewmalog?

        --rateest-interval amount{s|ms|us}
               Rate measurement interval, in seconds, milliseconds or 
microseconds.

        --rateest-ewmalog value
               Rate measurement averaging time constant.

I'm using interval 1.0s and ewmalog 2.0s but I don't understand how 
these parameters works together.

Any further explanation?
