I would think that most routers would only suspect a DDoS attack to originate from an external IP, on the other hand some routers may get bogged down if they are pinged too often, then degrading performance for other devices connected. I would personally set a minimum 5 second interval if I were coding for this. At the end of the day a 5 second delay is practically nothing in terms of waiting time.
