Synopsis:
set flood_rate [<number>]
Description:
This variable sets the message rate (per second) that will trigger the
FLOOD hook, if the total message count exceeds the FLOOD_AFTER setting
at the given rate. Thus, if messages from a remote client outpace the
FLOOD_RATE for at least FLOOD_AFTER messages, the FLOOD hook is caught.
If FLOOD_RATE is larger than FLOOD_AFTER, the client will not trigger
the hook until at least FLOOD_RATE messages have been received.
