Hi All,

Please clarify the pike settings for SIP message count, the module Doc reports:

----
modparam("pike", "sampling_time_unit", 10)

modparam("pike", "reqs_density_per_unit", 30)

How many requests should be allowed per sampling_time_unit before blocking all the incoming request from that IP. Practically, the blocking limit is between ( let's have x=reqs_density_per_unit) x and 3*x for IPv4 addresses and between x and 8*x for IPv6 addresses.

-----

So the example above the SIP message rate is 30 messages within 10 seconds triggers an pike alert?

The description I’m confused on is “Practically, the blocking ‘limit is between’ (let's have x=reqs_density_per_unit) x and 3*x for IPv4”

The way this reads to me is the Pike alert could be triggered anywhere between 30 and 90 (3*30) messages within 10 second period. Am I reading this correctly? What determines when the pike trigger actually happens, could the trigger happen at say 56 messages within 10 seconds?

Thanks.
