No, I'm not sidestepping. I think I've quite clearly stated that IMHO not having interface-specific limiters is best for deployment: having them just adds extra complexity, and seems to encourage to use bandwidth-based limiters, which are not a good idea. If you use token bucket based mechanisms, you don't need to care about interface speeds. What's deployed out there is just one argument why we don't need to specify interface-specific counters at all (or even if we wanted to point it out, definitely not as a SHOULD). In the revision, we've definitely already done some changes which have made some legacy nodes non-compliant, e.g., by recommending against timer-based approaches (which, unfortunately, have been implemented) so that's not a big problem as such. -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds."
