change the allowed rate limit

[mushis]

the client's rate command is limited programmatically to 100000 (100kbs).
when #44 is done, this limit can be reached with 2 or 3 duplicated packets.

I suggest changing this limit to 500000.

hi mushi,
Current limit is 100000*3 (3 is the max duplicated packets). Do you think that is still not enough?

Is this a theoretical discussion or there are some use cases when the rate is indeed too low?

[mushis]

I did some digging

if (rate > 100000 * MAX_DUPLICATE_PACKETS)

rate = 100000 * MAX_DUPLICATE_PACKETS;

this is strange.
why not just have it: if rate > 300000; rate = 300000

anyway. 100000 bps are not much. I guess in severe cases it might not be enough. Bloodfest?
the programatical limit should be higher imo.

it's so you could change it by changing max_duplicate_packets, as of now you're setting the ceiling at 300000, which is far higher than any server has sv_maxrate set to anyway (even mine). i honestly have no problem increasing it further, though i can't say i've seen a game that reaches anywhere near that even with dups turned on.
