The misnomer is true.  I am happy to accept a patch correcting the name in
patch-o-matic and userspace.

Er, yeah, it's 1.2.7 that has the 'a' on it, so that diff is to
1.2.8 stock.

I've changed the name to 'connlimit', since it limits the number of
connections.
 tcplimit sounds more like you want to limit the rate of a tcp session.

I know, connlimit doesn't imply anything about 'tcp only', but I
regard this as
a  missing feature of the patch. it should be able to deal with other protocols
(at least udp) as well.

That's true.  I'm not likely to be the one to make it do UDP and others
though,
since I don't need the patch for that <g>  I will probably be getting
a true
iplimit patch in sometime soon though.  Stay tuned to your local bugzilla
channel ;-)
