Not sure I agree.
Blacklisting a host is analogous to a firewall operation in that the
administrator of a MINA-based application would determine which hosts can
connect to the application. The ConnectionThrottleFilter is designed to
block host connections when they try and connect to quickly, like in the
case of a denial-of-service attack.
I could understand combining code via a shared parent class. There was talk
of even extending the ConnectionThrottleFilter further by keeping a host in
the 'block' list for a configurable amount of time.
I think what differs is a policy. If the policy is pre-programmed or
permanant, it's what BlacklistFilter does. Otherwise, it's what
ConnectionThrottlefilter is supposed do. Probably we could create
some generic filter that user can specify a certain policy. For
example:
ConnectionThrottlePolicy p = ...;
ConnectionThrottleFilter f = new ConnectionThrottleFilter(p);
