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
