no, i got the data rate controled, this is my firewall that i use to
control traffic in my cage, my provider has a pps cap and i want my
firewall to catch a pps spikes before the provider cap does, becuase
the providers cap trips a port shut down, id rather drop a few packets
for a few seconds on a pps spike then to have my port shut down for
xamount of time until i find out about it and call my provider(yes i
understand how stupid such a mechanism is)

i was thinking about using the qlimit, as i think this is the best way
i can do it, but thats kinda guess and check i think(i need a cap at
roughly 4000pps, which i would have trouble generating in a test
environment)

anyone have a good resource i could look into tbrsize with?
