Limit the Connections

Hi David,

 

 

If you are okay with sending a TCP reset to clients who attempt to establish a connection with the VIP or pool members when they're over the limit, you could configure a connection limit on the VIP and/or individual pool members.

 

 

Else, if you want to do application layer handling of HTTP, you can check the Codeshare (Click here) for some examples:

 

 

high_performance_rate_limiting - This rule will limit the number of request to a particular vhost and uri to...

 

RateLimit_HTTPRequest - Limits HTTP POST requests by user

 

virtual_server_connection_limit_with_HTTP_response - This rule allows administrators to configure a maximum TCP connection limit...

 

HTTPSessionLimit - Limits total concurrent HTTP sessions to a pre-defined threshhold, allowing those clients with a session cookie to continue
