[users@httpd] RE: rate limit issues in Apache Http server

[Rathore, Rajendra]

Hi Team,

Can you please suggest some Apache configuration settings to fix the below 
issue.

I have below configurations:

<IfModule mpm_worker_module>
StartServers        1
    MinSpareThreads     151
    MaxSpareThreads     300
    ThreadsPerChild     300
    ThreadLimit         300
    MaxRequestWorkers   300

    MaxConnectionsPerChild   0
</IfModule>

<IfModule mpm_event_module>
### Provide alternate settings instead [PTC]
    StartServers        1
    MinSpareThreads     151
    MaxSpareThreads     300
    ThreadsPerChild     300
    ThreadLimit         300
    MaxRequestWorkers   300

    MaxConnectionsPerChild   0
</IfModule>

<IfModule mpm_winnt_module>

    ThreadsPerChild     300

    MaxConnectionsPerChild   0
</IfModule>

Other timeout settings are defaults value, no changes.

Hi Team,

We are facing rate limit issue in default Apache configuration, can you please 
suggest some solutions around it? Is this statement correct that OOTB apache 
can't handle such situation, you need to rely on Firewall or some 3rd party 
software for DOS prevention.
