Limiting Requests Globally

Limiting Requests by IP Address

You can configure Enterprise Gateway Server to limit the number of requests the server will accept and the number the server will process concurrently. By doing so, you can protect both Enterprise Gateway Server and your Internal Server from Denial of Service attacks that use a flood of incoming requests to interfere with server processing.

You can configure whether Enterprise Gateway Server sets limits on requests globally, by IP address, or both.

However, to ensure that requests from trusted servers are not denied, you can specify a list of trusted IP addresses. Requests from these trusted IP addresses are always allowed. For more information about trusted IP address ranges, see About Trusted IP Addresses.
