NimbostratusiRule detect any IP that comes in at x rate a minute
Lets say we have an external IP coming in and is completely over taxing a VS. Is there a way within an iRule(or profile) to throttle the connection? In this case
external ---------------------------> VS
166.166.166.166 -------------->270.270.270.270
Using up to 300 MB of bandwidth. Want to throttle to 50mb. Thank you for anyone who can help.

Alternatively you could create a Rate Class and apply it in the iRule, based on the source IP. Is the high bandwidth inbound or outbound?
smiley_dba_1116Its inbound- smiley_dba_1116Its inbound
- What_Lies_Bene1OK, so I knocked this up;
when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { if { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals x.x.x.x] } { rateclass name_of_your_rateclass log local0. "Bandwidth Hog: [IP::client_addr] detected, Rate Class applied." } }
And found this right afterwards (which has an example which is essentially the same): https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.rateclass.ashx
No idea what happens if the client opens multiple connections. Perhaps you can let us know?
