Connection limit

Note

This extension is intended to be robust against both untrusted downstream and upstream traffic.

Tip

This extension extends and can be used with the following extension category:

[extensions.filters.network.connection_limit.v3.ConnectionLimit proto]

stat_prefix

(, REQUIRED) The prefix to use when emitting statistics.

max_connections

delay

() The delay configuration to use for rejecting the connection after some specified time duration instead of immediately rejecting the connection. That way, a malicious user is not able to retry as fast as possible which provides a better DoS protection for Envoy. If this is not present, the connection will be closed immediately.

runtime_enabled

(config.core.v3.RuntimeFeatureFlag) Runtime flag that controls whether the filter is enabled or not. If not specified, defaults to enabled.
