not much time to devine why you didn't find the "lartc" documents

This was the previous "new" way, you may prefer to try
the "new" new way which uses the 'hashlimit' module and its
relatives. Sincerely I used the 'tc' way for a lot of different
trix and am almost done transfering the most of them rules to
use the new modules. The 'tc' is a really good tool but the
"recent (somehow)" modules are easier to describe to outsourcers ;-)
