Bandwidth settings in the domain settings

King555 · Jan 5, 2011

I have a question concerning the bandwidth limiting settings in Plesk in the domain settings.

I didn't find any information whether these settings are per client (i.e. IP) or for every access to the domain summed up.

For example, when I set a limit of 10 connections, are there 10 connections free for every single client or 10 connections for the complete domain?

And what happens when more than X connections are established? Do the users get an error message or is the page just slow?

What are optimum values for both options?

I want to use these settings as a DDoS protection, because my server is attacked at this moment.

Bandwidth settings are installed only per domain, not IP.

>For example, when I set a limit of 10 connections
It means that domain allows only 10 connections, any connection over allowed, will be rejected with following error:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
<html><head>
<title>510 Not Extended</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Not Extended</h1>
<p>A mandatory extension policy in the request is not
accepted by the server for this resource.</p>
<hr>
-----------------------------------------------------------------

>optimum values
it depend only on your server

NOTE: if set 'connections limiting' U should also specify 'bandwidth limiting' otherwise connect limitation will be ignored

Thanks for your answer.

Then these settings are no option for me.
