The idea is to bundle similar functionality: - pike - limiting based on source IP (suitable for DoS attacks); - ratelimit - limiting based on method and/or load and/or user defined criteria (suitable for traffic shaping control and server load control).
The README for ratelimit can be found here: http://pastebin.ca/899983 The README for pike can be found here: http://www.openser.org/docs/modules/devel/pike.html PROS: - bundle somehow related functionality; - less modules to maintain. CONS: - cluttered README file and init params; - ugly definition for timers (each module has it's own timer and we need to keep them separately); - no code shared so far. In the end: "Vox populi, vox dei" :-) Regards, Ovidiu Sas On Feb 12, 2008 4:30 PM, Christian Schlatter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ovidiu Sas wrote: > > It seems that this module doesn't present enough interest for the community > > :) > > It's not that the module isn't interesting, in fact I think this is a > very handy rate limiting tool.
