| Description |
| =========== |
| |
| Starting with 1.3.8, lighttpd supports limiting the bandwidth for |
| a single connection or config context like a virtual host or a URL. |
| |
| Options |
| ======= |
| |
| :connection.kbytes-per-second: |
| limit the throughput for each single connection to the given |
| limit in kbyte/s |
| |
| default: 0 (no limit) |
| |
| :server.kbytes-per-second: |
| limit the throughput for all connections to the given limit |
| in kbyte/s |
| |
| if you want to specify a limit for a special virtual server |
| use: :: |
| |
| $HTTP["host"] == "www.example.org" { |
| server.kbytes-per-second = 128 |
| } |
| |
| which will override the default for this host. |
| |
| default: 0 (no limit) |
| |
| Additional Notes |
| ================ |
| |
| Keep in mind that a limit below 32kb/s might actually limit the traffic to 32kb/s. This |
| is caused by the size of the TCP send buffer. |
