My understanding was always that the limit is per check list, but I agree
it may not be very clear.

Perhaps we could modify the text as below:

   In order to limit the attacks described in Section 15.4.1, an agent
   MUST limit the total number of connectivity checks the agent performs
   across all CHECK LISTs to a specific value, and this value MUST be
   configurable. A default of 100 is RECOMMENDED.  This limit is
   enforced by, within each CHECK LIST, discarding the lower-priority
candidate 
   pairs of that CHECK LIST, until there are less than a total of 100
candidate 
   pairs in the CHECK LIST SET. The discarding of candidate pairs SHOULD be
   distributed equally throughout the CHECK LISTs in the CHECK LIST SET.
