+This allows one ssh connection attepmt per minute per source ip, with a initial
+burst of 10.  The available burst is like a counter which is initialised with
+10. Every connection attempt decrements the counter, and every minute where the
+connection limit of one per minute is not overstepped the counter is
+incremented by one.  If the burst counter is exhausted the real rate limit
+comes into play. This gives you 11 connectionattepmts in the first minute
+before blocked for 10minutes.  After 10 minutes block the game restarts.
+
+Hint: you could set the burst value to 5 and the block time to only 5 minutes
+to achive the same average connection rate but with halve the block time.
