Rate limiting is a security technique used to control and manage traffic flows to a network, particularly in the face of Distributed-Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. It is designed to restrict traffic that exceeds a certain threshold level, such as connections rate, packet rate, bandwidth or other.

Administrators are required to be security experts and define these thresholds in advance to prevent network congestion and sudden traffic spikes.
