Configuring Connection Limits Using F5's Local Traffic Manager (LTM)

This is a very high-level video on configuring connection limits at the virtual server level. You can also apply this limit globally and to a route domain. In the video, I mention this is a start and AFM is still recommended. My intent is to advise that AFM provides enhanced DDoS protections that LTM natively doesn't. By creating a DDoS profile in AFM and assigning it to your LTM virtual server, you can easily deny traffic that has been identified as DoS traffic while allowing valid users to access your service. LTM is simply allowing administrators to establish a maximum number of connections and an eviction policy to determine how to evict those connections from the BIG-IP once that limit is reached.

If configured “0” to the connection limit on the VIP, is it still based on the physical memory of LTM? The concurrent connections will share the physical memory.

If i want to limit the sessions from particular website / url / fqdn, how to achieve this. In 14.0 later version we can add source IP list however I would like to set this up using website / url / fqdn / dns name.

Over the next few days I think that I would only like to communicate with people living on the east coast. I hope that I can figure it out
