Hi all

Some time ago I asked about a way of limiting the CAPS sent to differnet
gateways and in high CPS environment. 

I ended up implementing a htable based solution suggested by one member of the
list. The solution was more or less like this one:


modparam("htable", "htable", "caps=>size=11;initval=0;autoexpire=5;")
modparam("htable", "timer_interval", 10)
modparam("htable", "timer_procs", 4)


  $var(cps) = $rd + ":" + $timef(%S);
  $var(cps) = $shtinc(caps=>$var(cps));
  if ($var(cps) > $var(capslimit)) {
     sl_send_reply("503", "CAPS limit reached for this destination $rd");
     exit;
  }



The problem with this approach is that it's not fast enough detecting the
limit. If I set 500 CAPS as limit it will sometimes reach 550, 600, or even 700
before it rejects the rest of the requests during that second. I have complains
from the destination and they are asking me to be more precise in the ratelimit
process. 


Would ratelimit/pipelimit improve this? I don't even know if they would accept
handling 1 second intervals at this rate. 

Any other suggestion?



cheers,

Jon
