Alternative to mod_throttle

Is there any alternatives to mod_throttle in apache2 ? Currently this module has been closed http://www.snert.com/Software/apache.htm.

  • You can take a look at the bwshare module.

    Rizzblow : can i limit concurrent request with this module ?
    Maxwell : I've not found the time to try it yet, so i can't provide your more details. Sorry.

  • I'have used bw_mod for a long time, it's a port of mod_bandwidth for apache2. It's quite simple but may fit your needs.

    From radius
  • Depending on what you want to do, you can also do something on the operating system level independently from apache

    If you are using Linux, you could for instance use iptables to mark the packets and pass them on to tc (see lartc.org for a lot of details)

    you have the recent module in iptables to match hitcounts or length module to match the length, even something like l7-filter to match the contents.

  • check out mod_cband [ sourceforge ]. some howto about it.

    there is one tiny issue - it seems that project's main website is down, i hope not for long.

    pQd : well - it seems that website got up.
