Tomcat doesn't have any specific configuration which will enable you to do this, beyond specifying the number of threads per connector/executor and adjusting the backlog. Furthermore, the operating system supplies the network service so the OS will still suffer from the attack, even if you limit the number of connections in Tomcat. It's better to defend this type of attack before the server, not on it. p
