Jun 06, 2013connection limit by subnet
I have a group of users in 10.1.1.0/24 segment, and anothe group in 10.3.1.0/24. What I want to do is if concurrent connection from 10.1.1.0/24 is greater than 100, drop connection request from 10.3....

Jun 06, 2013i think you may add 10.1.1.0/24 client to table when connection is established and remove it when it is closed. when 10.3.1.0/24 client comes, count table to see whether it reaches threshold. if yes, drop 10.3.1.0/24 client. static::lifetime is set in case CLIENT_CLOSED is not triggered, so entry won't be in table forever.
e.g.
[root@ve10:Active] config b rule myrule list
rule myrule {
when RULE_INIT {
set static::lifetime 86400
set static::limit 100
}
when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
if { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 10.1.1.0/24] } {
table set -subtable "connlimit" "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]" " " indefinite $static::lifetime
return
}
if { [table keys -subtable "connlimit" -count] > $static::limit } {
if { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 10.3.1.0/24] } {
drop
}
}
}
when CLIENT_CLOSED {
if { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 10.1.1.0/24] } {
table delete -subtable "connlimit" "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]"
}
}
}
