Hello,

I am not very familiar with the code as I haven't written the module, but iirc, if it is an isolated IP, then it takes 3 x sampling_time_unit to block that IP if there is traffic from it at a rate of more than 30 requests (can be even 1000+ requests).

Then, an IP can be blocked after the first sampling_time_unit if it is part of a subnetwork (/24) that has other IP addresses already blocked.

As a simple rule, any IP is blocked for sure after 3 x sampling_time_unit with higher rate than the density and is kept block if it continues to send high volume of requests.

Cheers,
Daniel

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.
