    There is no build in function for this, you will need to create something yourself.

     

    So how are your iRule skills? 

     

    I tested the iRule from Sulabh_Srivasta and it works for me. If I open several TCP connections then the next HTTP request is closed with the message "over_limit". So the principle of that works and you can expand on that.

    It does use global variables which have effects, you can look here to see alternatives: https://my.f5.com/manage/s/article/K13033
