> Don't such HA apps need to run as root anyways?
Not necessarily, but eventually you can let root (CAP_NET_ADMIN, anyway)
go through without any limitations, root can bring down the system at will
in other ways.
In addition, the rate limiting solution allows a warning to be issued when
the limit is exceeded, so that the poor sysadmin knows what hit him 8-)
