1second=1000milliseconds
1millisecond=1000microseconds

so,I think it so be:
-i --interval wait (uX for X microseconds, for example -i u1000)
--fast alias for -i u10000 (100 packets for second)
--faster alias for -i u1000 (1000 packets for second)
--flood sent packets as fast as possible. Don't show replies.

That seems sensible to me (additionally, I'd use "packets per second").
Report it as a wishlist bug against the hping3 package. For bonus
points, supply a patch.
