Re: Packet rate limiter

is there any way how to limit packet per second [PPS] rate to specified
IP (group of IP) ?

The closest I can think of off the top of my head is defining a PF
rule set with queues (ALTQ), however you will be specifying bandwidth,
that is in bits per second (or k,M,G multiples of) of percentage of
available bandwidth, not number of packets. Your groups of source
addresses could be maintained as tables for easy manipulation.
