Total bandwidth limit in IIS7

bandwidthiis-7rate-limiting

The only settings I can find are for limiting in terms of bytes per second but if I understand correctly that'll mean that the connection speed of the site is being throttled as well. What I want to do is to have a hard limit – say 30GB/month, but I don't want to limit the connection speed. Thanks.

That option doesn't exist in IIS. If you had a have a hard limit, you would essentially have the site stop X days into the month once they reached the limit.

To accomplish this, you would need to use an external tool to record the bandwidth per month (whether it's a statistics program, or one that records bandwidth in real-time on the way through). Then when the limit is reached, use one of the IIS APIs to stop the app pool.

Limit number of requests to a specific set of URLs by IP address

I don't think it exists a module to limit connections per time per IP. But you should play a little bit with limitipconn and mod_cband ... probably together can do that. Or you can use limitipconn with iptables.

To do that probably you should use iptables:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m state --state NEW -m limit --limit 1/minute -j ACCEPT

I didn't test this rule, is just a hint for what you should look.

If you use iptables you should have 2 ip's and different virtual hosts for your main site and your document section, to limit only the ip(virtual host) for documents.
