             Summary: IMAP: Basic traffic control
                 Key: JAMES-4093
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JAMES-4093
             Project: James Server
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Benoit Tellier


h2. Why?

Several goals:

 - Have tools to ensure fairness across users
 - Have tools to prevent / mitigate network saturation

This could help mitigating DOS, throttling painfull migrations in order to 
protect the underlying on-prem object store, etc...

h2. What ?

As an IMAP administrator I want to be able to set up optional Traffic shapping 
for IMAP, stating that for instance I limit each IMAP channel to a 1MB/s 
bandwith.

Example configuration:


{code:java}
<imapserver enabled="true">
    <jmxName>imapserver</jmxName>
    <bind>0.0.0.0:0</bind>
    <connectionBacklog>200</connectionBacklog>
    <trafficShapping>
        <incomingTrafficPerSecond>5MB</incomingTrafficPerSecond>
        <outgoingTrafficPerSecond>5MB</incomingTrafficPerSecond>
        <checkInterval>30s</checkInterval>
        <maxDelays>30s</maxDelays>
    </trafficShapping>
</imapserver>
{code}

h2. How?

Netty provides out of the box traffic shapping.

Just insert ChannelTrafficShapingHandler part of the pipeline.

https://netty.io/4.0/api/io/netty/handler/traffic/ChannelTrafficShapingHandler.html

h2. Kisscool benefits

Note that we might even be able to access traffic metrics and augment 
JAMES-4091 !

{code:java}
curl -XGET /servers/channels/btell...@apache.org

       "protocol": "IMAP",
        "endpoint": "imap-ssl",

             "liveReadThroughputBytePerSecond": "345678", 
             "liveWriteThroughputBytePerSecond": "344564", 
             "lastRead": "2024-11-20T16:05:00Z", 
             "lastWrite": "2024-11-20T16:07:00Z", 
             "cumulativeReadBytes": "2442343434", 
             "selectedMailbox": "INBOX", // Read the IMAPSession
             "isIdling": "true",  // Inspect behavious in protocol overrides
         }   
   },
{code}

(channel.pipeline().get(TEFFIC_SHAPPER).trafficCounter())
