Queue traffic after session rate limit reached
Hi Guys,
I have a website where the login systems can't cope with a massive ramp up of traffic, e.g. 10,000 users trying to login in the space of 2 minutes.
Any idea if this is possible:
1) The number of ‘logins per minute’ should be parameterised
2) Once the ‘logins per minute’ value is reached additional logins should be queued for a ‘n’ number of seconds. Users should not be redirected to another page. Instead their request will just queue on the BigIP and appear like a very slow login submission.
3) If a login request is still in the queue after ‘n’ number of seconds it will be redirected to a sorry page.
I see from codeshare that 1) and 3) are possible, but would need some performance testing. My concern is how 2) is achieved and if queueing individual requests is possible on the BigIP.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts,
cheers
Carl
