Rate Limiting Outbound connections from LTM

Hi All,

 

 

Is there a way to rate limit outbound connectivity from a server behind the LTM? (it is a server in a pool behind Bigip, and it uses the LTM as its gateway).

 

 

Basically, I want to throttle the outbound bandwidth from these servers to a specific subnet using an Irule.

 

 

Thanks in advance!

    Did you take a look at the code share http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules.CodeShare. They might have a rate limitter example mostly inbound, but I don't see how you can change it in the other direction.

     

     

    hope this helps

    If it's bandwidth you want to limit, the rate shaping feature might do what you want. (In fact that's exactly what the rate shaping feature does do is limit bandwidth).
