# TODO -- RateLimit

![RateLimit](../assets/img/middleware/ratelimit.png)
The RateLimit middleware ensures that services will receive a _fair_ number of requests, and allows you define what is fair.
## Configuration Example
??? example "Limit to 100 requests every 10 seconds (with a possible burst of 200)"
```toml
[http.middlewares]
[http.middlewares.fair-ratelimit.ratelimit]
extractorfunc = "client.ip"
[http.middlewares.fair-ratelimit.ratelimit.rateset1]
period = "10s"
average = 100
burst = 200
```
??? example "Combine multiple limits"
```toml
[http.middlewares]
[http.middlewares.fair-ratelimit.ratelimit]
extractorfunc = "client.ip"
[http.middlewares.fair-ratelimit.ratelimit.rateset1]
period = "10s"
average = 100
burst = 200
[http.middlewares.fair-ratelimit.ratelimit.rateset2]
period = "3s"
average = 5
burst = 10
```
Here, an average of 5 requests every 3 seconds is allowed and an average of 100 requests every 10 seconds. These can "burst" up to 10 and 200 in each period, respectively.
## Configuration Options
### extractorfunc
The `extractorfunc` option defines the strategy used to categorize requests.
The possible values are:
- `request.host` categorizes requests based on the request host.
- `client.ip` categorizes requests based on the client ip.
- `request.header.ANY_HEADER` categorizes requests based on the provided `ANY_HEADER` value.
### ratelimit (multiple values)
You can combine multiple ratelimit.
The ratelimit will trigger with the first reached limit.
Each ratelimit has 3 options, `period`, `average`, and `burst`.
The rate limit will allow an average of `average` requests every `period`, with a maximum of `burst` request on that period.
!!! note "Period Format"
Period is to be given in a format understood by [time.ParseDuration](https://golang.org/pkg/time/#ParseDuration).
