<para>Complementary to <option>--min-rate</option> is
<option>--max-rate</option>, which limits a scan's sending rate to a
given maximum. Use <option>--max-rate 100</option>, for example, to
limit sending to 100 packets per second on a fast network. Use
<option>--max-rate 0.1</option> for a slow scan of one packet every ten
seconds.</para>
<para><option>--max-rate</option>, like <option>--min-rate</option>, is
a global option affecting an entire scan. It affects only port and host
discovery scans. Unlike <option>--min-rate</option>, which is a
<quote>best-effort</quote> option, <option>--max-rate</option> is a hard
upper bound on the scanning rate.</para>
<para>Nmap may go slower than the maximum rate if conditions require it.
To keep the sending rate within a specified range, use
<option>--min-rate</option> and <option>--max-rate</option>
together.</para>
