allows things like
pass in proto icmp max-pkt-rate 100/10
all packets matching the rule in the direction the state was created are
taken into consideration (typically: requests, but not replies).
Just like with the other max-*, the rule stops matching if the maximum is
reached, so in typical scenarios the default block rule would kick in then.
