[SR-Users] Rate limiting

[John Petrini]

HI All,

What's everyone's experience with pipelimit regarding performance? Say we
set dynamic pipes base on au and source ip? This would result in thousands
of pipes would it not? Is this going to put a substantial load on the
server? Are there other settings that should be tweaked when implementing
it such as memory limits etc?

Thank You,

John Petrini
