The twisted.protocols.policies module contains factories that limit connections per peer or total connections: http://twistedmatrix.com/documents/current/api/twisted.protocols.policies.html There isn't one for connections per second, but I don't suppose it would be too hard to write (and I might get around to writing it one of these days, we could use it). If you're really worried about attacks, it's probably better to do this at the iptables/kernel level if you can though.
