Any practical reason to make rising and falling storm control thresholds equal?

Post Body

Based on a response to a previous question in which I asked why my local library had a such a large subnet mask (and thus possibly a large broadcast domain [255.0.0.0]), I looked up "broadcast suppression".

Based on the documentation, the falling threshold for storm-control can be equal to or lower than the rising threshold. Why would I need to make them equal? And how would the CPU know when to block and unblock if it had different instructions for the same value?

Something to do with the time interval?
