I agree with Vladimir here. Since the hardware does PPS limits, the TC
API should also be PPS limit based. And as you said, CPU load is more
a factor of PPS than BPS, so it is a useful feature in general to
have. You just need to implement the software version first, before
you offload it to the hardware.
