description: >-
  Analog Devices' SDKs (libiio, pyadi-iio, no-OS) are local / on-device
  libraries. They do not impose request-per-second throttling; throughput is
  bounded by the underlying transport (USB, Ethernet via iiod, SPI, I2C) and
  by the silicon's sample rate, not by a vendor rate-limit policy. There is no
  central HTTP rate-limit doc to reconcile because there is no central HTTP
  API.
notes: >-
  Limits are bus / silicon bound and per-device, documented in each part's
  datasheet rather than a network rate-limit page.

limits:
  - name: Per-Device Sample Rate
    scope: device
    metric: varies
    limit: 'see part datasheet (sample rate / bus speed)'
  - name: iiod Network Daemon Throughput
    scope: device
    metric: varies
    limit: 'bounded by network transport (TCP/USB) and device sample rate'
policies:
  - name: Local SDK
    description: >-
      libiio is a local library; rate limiting is not applicable in the SaaS
      sense. Performance characteristics are documented per ADI part.
  - name: Network Daemon (iiod)
    description: >-
      When using iiod for remote access, throughput is bounded by transport
      latency and device sample rate, not by an API rate-limit policy.
