Apply a connection rate limit on Virtual Server
regarding F5 support, the connection rate limit on a virtual server which has SSL profile configured, is applied after the defined number of successful connections (SSL) has reached. My customers service got hammered really hard with SSL handshakes. As the viprion was overloaded within moments (tmm memory exhaustion, most of it consumed by ssl related stuff), this connection rate limit was never enforced as just few connections where successful.
Any ideas about implementing a TCP based connection rate limit? I was thinking about hoolio's iRule: https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.virtual_server_connection_rate_limit_with_tables.ashx
I'm using TMOS 11.3.0
Any other ideas?
Thanks, Rolf
