Do you mean "session" or connection"?

Hi,
I mean connection.
Romain
This is for 11.5, implementation are a bit different on prior code revs.

Hi,
thanks for your answer.
But, correct me if I'm wrong, this way allows to limit the total number of connections, no matter the client source IP. What I want to do is to limit the number of connections per each source IP.

You could most likely use an iRule with a count by src IP address stored in a table. If src IP address count = limit do not allow the connection (or provide a friendle error)
Maybe look here for some inspiration

There is a bunch out there for this scenario, the search box in the top right corner is your friend.. ;)
A good article to read on connection limiting via an irule by Colin

You can goto
Access Policy ›› Access Profiles : Access Profiles List ›› Your-apm-access-policy-- there you have Max In Progress Sessions Per Client IP . Set according to your requirement. Do not make it zero.
