Abstract
Transaction rate limiting is provided to monitor new connections. If the number of new connections requested by a particular client exceeds a predetermined threshold value, then the client may be frozen out for a configured period of time. By denying access for the configured period of time, the client is prevented from monopolizing a particular client. Additionally, if the client does have malicious intent, a denial of service attack may be thwarted. The denial of service may be accomplished without alerting the client. This prevents a malicious client from regrouping and attempting an assault via a different mechanism.
