What is ArvanCloud Rate Limit?

Rate Limit controls the ingress and egress traffic of a network. This is carried out by limiting the requests of a user. In other words, rate limiting considers a limit for the number of requests sent by a user. When the number of requests goes beyond the rate limit, the additional requests are rejected or responded to with delay.

Different Options of ArvanCloud Rate Limiting:

one

Basic Rate Limit:

The rate limits can be assigned according to each IP. For example, a rate limit of 10 requests in a second can be set for an IP address to block more requests.

two

Burst Rate limiting:

In this option, rate limits are set for requests over the rate limit. These requests are buffered, so the user does not see any errors. After a specific time, all of the buffered requests are responded to simultaneously. Any submissions over this rate are blocked.

three

Throttling Rate limit:

The requests over the rate limit are buffered in this option. However, these extra requests are taken out of the buffer requests one by one and are responded to simultaneously. No requests are blocked in this option.

General Performance of Rate Limiting

Rate Limiting controls the inbound and outbound traffic of a network. This is carried out by limiting user requests to block or respond to requests over the accepted number with latency
