The sshd handler performed a concrete type assertion on the accepted
connection, but the SSH listener's Accept() wraps each connection with
a traffic limiter (limitConn), obscuring the underlying *DirectForwardConn
type and causing 'sshd: wrong connection type' whenever a limiter was
configured.
Add an UnwrapConn() method to the traffic limiter wrapper and an
unwrapConn() helper in the handler that peels through wrapper layers
before the type switch. The handler uses the unwrapped conn only for
the type-specific DstAddr() call, while the original limiter-wrapped
conn drives data transfer so rate limiting remains effective.
Also track the last accept/bind error on service Status so callers can
retrieve the cause when a service enters the failed state.
- Add NewLimiterWithBurst(rate, burst) for independent burst control
- Extend parseLimit to accept optional 4th field as burst size
- Add DroppedPacketCounter interface with DroppedPackets() for packet/udp conns
- Export ErrRateLimited sentinel for rate-limit error checks
- Fix IP-level cache expiration (NoExpiration → defaultExpiration) to prevent
unbounded growth; reset TTL on access in In/Out
- Short-circuit single-limiter path to avoid limiterGroup allocation
- Add nil guard in cachedTrafficLimiter when both old and new values are nil
- Remove unused ctx field from wrapper structs
- limiterGroup.Allow(): return false immediately on first denial instead of
continuing through all limiters (wasting tokens on subsequent limiters).
Sort limiters by Limit() so most restrictive fires first.
- rateLimiter.Close(): add missing httpLoader.Close() to prevent resource leak.
- Add doc comments for all exported symbols (package, constants, Options,
NewRateLimiter, NewLimiter, ErrRateLimit, generators).
- Add rate_test.go with 59 unit tests covering generators, limiter groups,
parsing (limit/line/patterns), reload, loader merge, Close behavior,
and priority ordering (exact IP > CIDR > $$ > $).
Add package and exported symbol doc comments across conn, generator,
limiter, and wrapper packages. Fix nil receiver guard in
connLimitSingleGenerator.Limiter, add missing httpLoader.Close call,
return context.Background instead of nil in serverConn.Context, return
explicit error on connection limit exceeded, and simplify Allow logic.
