CSS11506 - max connenction per sec

[m.loli]

I would like to limit the number of maximum connection per second on a service. I've only found the command 'max connection #', but it's not what I need.

The o.s. version in 5.20.

Is it possible?

Thanks.

this is not possible.

The function does not exist.

You could write scripts and suspend services receiving too much traffic, but this seems quite complex.

Also, I don't see why you would want to limit conn/sec.

Normally, you should translate the conn/sec rate into a maxconn.

For example, if it takes 10 sec to send the requested page in average and the box dies if the rate is 1000 conn/sec, then configure a maxconn of 1000 x 10 / 2 = 5000 should prevent the server to block.

Regards,

Gilles.
