Kirk,

 

 

Is this limiting done on a per uri basis, or a per streaming server? It would be easier to limit the number of streams on a given server using the following rule.

 

 

when RULE_INIT {

 

 

array set connections { }

 

 

}

 

 

 

 

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {

 

 

if { [info exists ::connections([IP::local_addr])] } {

 

 

if { [incr ::connections([IP::local_addr])] > 1000 } {

 

 

reject

 

 

}

 

 

} else {

 

 

set ::connections([IP::local_addr]) 1

 

 

}

 

 

}

 

 

 

 

when CLIENT_CLOSED {

 

 

if { [incr ::connections([IP::local_addr]) -1] <= 0 } {

 

 

unset ::connections([IP::local_addr])

 

 

}

 

 

}
