how to limit a client IP from continuously opening connections to the server

Hi guys, I'm a noob to iRules and was wondering if there was a way we could write up an iRule to limit the amount of connections a user can open over a course of a period of time. We got hammered by...
application delivery
devops
iRules
management

Hi Pascal, Thank you for your reply... I was reading up on the link and this is where we got our iRule from and we just tweaked it to include the Android lookup to apply the iRule only to those devices.

 

Actually the IP varies and is not always from the same user. But one thing in common was that the user was using an Android device when this happens.

 

So from what you are suggesting, it sounds like this iRule should work in our situation?

 

Thanks again.
