| Would it be better to move away completely from fixed time intervals
| and just say as a percentage of the link traffic? at least in the case
| of routers?
It should be revised, but should be specified as token bucket type
specifications - that is, it should be possible to send a burst of
ICMPs if they're needed, just as long as the long term rate doesn't
get above N (N can be pkts/sec, or percentage of packets processed).
The link traffic percentage model (alone) breaks down if there has been
no traffic (N% of 0 is 0, no matter what N is).
Make all rate limits be specified with a rate/second (and 2/sec, or T=0.5)
as a nice conservative default (just default) I can handle, but with a
burst count of about 20 (as dedfault) (10 seconds with none, and 20 can
be sent very quickly again).
| So, question for the WG: Is the current text on this topic adequate,
| or should it be revised?
Revise it.
