With this module loaded, must define the following tag:
<connflood seconds="30" maxconns="3" timeout="30" quitmsg="Throttled" bootwait="10">
The meanings of these values are as follows:
- maxconns - Amount of connections to accept before throttling occurs
- seconds - Amount of seconds to let the maxconns value build up for, before flushing it back to zero, so in effect 'maxconns' connections within 'seconds' seconds triggers throttling
- timeout - The amount of time to throttle connections for, if and when throttling is triggered. The value of 'seconds' is added to this value before it is used.
- quitmsg - The reason to use when quitting clients which have been throttled on connect
- bootwait - The amount of seconds to wait on booting before activating this module. This prevents the initial flood of clients on boot from accidentally triggering the module.
