how to rate limit and connection limit on http request

HI ,

 

I would like to achieve a http request throttling over the new incoming request as well as to keep a check on the existing connections and to accept the new connection only when it has not crossed the predefined connection limit even if the connection is from the same IP Address .

  • Shirpaty, try creating a RateClass profile and assign it to the VIP in the acceleration section.

     

  • I think Rate Class will not be able to help you count the number of HTTP request for a particular URI or for a specific source IP Address
