Nimbostratuslimiting the amount of Bandwidth to a specific pool
Hello,
for exchange2013 webmail some of our users are having issues with exchange when trying to download the entire OAB. I have an irule in place to have certain services go to specific pools:
when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::uri] contains "/ecp" } { pool ecpgtsmail_lpr } elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "/ews" } { pool ewsgtsmail_lpr } elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync" } { pool easgtsmail_lpr } elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "/oab" } { pool oabgtsmail_lpr } elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "/rpc" } { pool oagtsmail_lpr } elseif { [HTTP::uri] contains "/owa" } { pool owagtsmail_lpr } else { pool owagtsmail_lpr } }
Now I would like to limit the amount of bandwidth someone can use to the oabgtsmail pool
I have found things to limit by number of connections or sessions, but I need an easy way to limit bandwidth. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

so what you're looking for is a way to limit the amount of throughput that a particular user has. You want to have the ability to throttle a specific users sessions to the VIP.
here's a tech tip that covers some rate limiting using tables. This is for HTTP traffic, but could be applied to other types of traffic as well.

- BuccaneerDave_2Thank you for your reply. However, I do not want to limit sessions, I want to limit bandwidth usage if that is even possible.
- BuccaneerDave_2I think this may be what I want: https://devcentral.f5.com/s/feed/0D51T00006i7T6DSAU

So, is the "Rate Shaping" what you want?
