these are good questions, and although i don’t think have asked the rate-limit question literally, we have had extended discussions with vendor engineers, and i don’t think it applies. (remembering dark hints about having service discontinued and taking down the entire site’s networking.)
as for the connections/size issue; this metric is never mentioned and every vendor engineer we’ve talked to is surprised when we mention the empirically discovered limit. (i observe the outgoing bandwidth is quite small (~1Mbps) — its the number of connections that is large.)
