Dummynet Limitations

Hi

    This code:

<code>
     if (pipe.delay > 10000)
                            errx(EX_DATAERR, "delay %d must be < 10000", 
pipe.delay);
</code>

in /usr/src/sbin/ipfw/ipfw.c

Limits the pipe delay for dummynet to 10 seconds. Is there any reason 
for this? Also, no such limit is imposed on the bandwidth why?
Memory (amount of mbufs/mbclusters) is obviously a limit here but I was 
wondering if something else was hidden in this statement.

Regards,

Karim
