CREDITS ------- Original design for mod_throttle/1.0 goes to Mark Lovell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Elements of the mutex & shared memory code, as of mod_throttle/3.0, originally derived from the Apache Web Server source code. Thank You to Lu Vo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for providing a Solaris POSIX compliant machine to test on; to Travis Doherty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for a FreeBSD machine for testing and several suggestions; to David M. Shirley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> for constructive and helpful reports concerning design and testing. Description : Bandwidth & Request Throttling This Apache module is intended to reduce the load on your server & bandwidth generated by popular virtual hosts, directories, locations, or users according to supported polices (see below) that decide when to delay or refuse requests. Also mod_throttle can track and throttle incoming connections by IP address or by authenticated remote user. Every request now passes through four levels of throttling, which are: by client's IP address (ThrottleClientIP), by authenticated remote user name (ThrottleRemoteUser), by local user ID (ThrottleUser), and by directory, location, virtual host, or server (ThrottlePolicy). -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux neo 2.4.20-k7 #1 Tue Jan 14 00:29:06 EST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-1, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.ISO-8859-1
