Hi,

While getting familiar with the new PF limiter functionality, I
noticed that explicit ID is required for each limiter definition,
e.g.:
state limiter "dns-server" id 1 limit 1000
source limiter "internet" id 1 entries 10000 limit 1000 rate 100/10
inet6 mask 64

Other PF objects like tables and queues are identified solely by name
in the configuration, without a separate numeric ID.
Is there any background on why the user-specified numeric ID for
limiters is needed, as opposed to being automatically derived
internally?

Thanks
MM
