            Bug ID: 2927
           Summary: scp -l can't limit the bandwidth at the first several
                    seconds
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 7.7p1
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P5
         Component: scp

When I use `-l` to limit the bandwidth to `10240Kbits`, the actual
bandwidth at the first several seconds is `10MB/s`. After several
seconds, the bandwidth will be limitted to `1MB/s` as expetced. I don't
know if this is a bug.

[root at danban-1 ~]# scp -l 10240 CentOS-7-x86_64-Everything-1804.iso
