iRule with Rate Shaping

Hi,

 

 

If I wanted to do rate shaping on http protocol and I wanted to update the rate class to be used at the fly depending on some conditions specified in a conditional “if” I'm tempted to believe that this can be done by:

 

 

1) Specifying an initial Rate Class in the CLIENT_ACCEPTED event

 

 

2) Have in the HTTP_REQUEST event a "conditional if" setting rate class to a value if a condition happens or setting it to a different value if a different condition happens.

 

 

Is my assessment correct that one could dynamically change the rate class to be used in an http connection at the fly by implementing what I described above?

 

 

Please advice

 

Thanks
