# InFlightReq
|
|
|
|
Limiting the Number of Simultaneous In-Flight Requests
|
|
{: .subtitle }
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To proactively prevent services from being overwhelmed with high load, the number of allowed simultaneous in-flight requests can be limited.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration Examples
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="Docker & Swarm"
|
|
labels:
|
|
- "traefik.http.middlewares.test-inflightreq.inflightreq.amount=10"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="Kubernetes"
|
|
apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
|
|
kind: Middleware
|
|
metadata:
|
|
name: test-inflightreq
|
|
spec:
|
|
inFlightReq:
|
|
amount: 10
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="Consul Catalog"
|
|
# Limiting to 10 simultaneous connections
|
|
- "traefik.http.middlewares.test-inflightreq.inflightreq.amount=10"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="File (YAML)"
|
|
# Limiting to 10 simultaneous connections
|
|
http:
|
|
middlewares:
|
|
test-inflightreq:
|
|
inFlightReq:
|
|
amount: 10
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```toml tab="File (TOML)"
|
|
# Limiting to 10 simultaneous connections
|
|
[http.middlewares]
|
|
[http.middlewares.test-inflightreq.inFlightReq]
|
|
amount = 10
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Configuration Options
|
|
|
|
### `amount`
|
|
|
|
The `amount` option defines the maximum amount of allowed simultaneous in-flight request.
|
|
The middleware responds with `HTTP 429 Too Many Requests` if there are already `amount` requests in progress (based on the same `sourceCriterion` strategy).
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="Docker & Swarm"
|
|
labels:
|
|
- "traefik.http.middlewares.test-inflightreq.inflightreq.amount=10"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="Kubernetes"
|
|
apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
|
|
kind: Middleware
|
|
metadata:
|
|
name: test-inflightreq
|
|
spec:
|
|
inFlightReq:
|
|
amount: 10
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="Consul Catalog"
|
|
# Limiting to 10 simultaneous connections
|
|
- "traefik.http.middlewares.test-inflightreq.inflightreq.amount=10"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```yaml tab="File (YAML)"
|
|
# Limiting to 10 simultaneous connections
|
|
http:
|
|
middlewares:
|
|
test-inflightreq:
|
|
inFlightReq:
|
|
amount: 10
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```toml tab="File (TOML)"
|
|
# Limiting to 10 simultaneous connections
|
|
[http.middlewares]
|
|
[http.middlewares.test-inflightreq.inFlightReq]
|
|
amount = 10
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### `sourceCriterion`
|
|
|
|
The `sourceCriterion` option defines what criterion is used to group requests as originating from a common source.
|
|
If several strategies are defined at the same time, an error will be raised.
|
|
If none are set, the default is to use the `requestHost`.
|
|
|
|
#### `sourceCriterion.ipStrategy`
|
|
|
|
The `ipStrategy` option defines two parameters that configures how Traefik determines the client IP: `depth`, and `excludedIPs`.
|
|
|
|
!!! important "As a middleware, InFlightReq happens before the actual proxying to the backend takes place. In addition, the previous network hop only gets appended to `X-Forwarded-For` during the last stages of proxying, i.e. after it has already passed through the middleware. Therefore, during InFlightReq, as the previous network hop is not yet present in `X-Forwarded-For`, it cannot be used and/or relied upon."
|
|
|
|
##### `ipStrategy.depth`
|
|
|
|
The `depth` option tells Traefik to use the `X-Forwarded-For` header and select the IP located at the `depth` position (starting from the right).
|
|
|
|
- If `depth` is greater than the total number of IPs in `X-Forwarded-For`, then the client IP is empty.
|
|
- `depth` is ignored if its value is less than or equal to 0.
|
|
|
|
!!! example "Example of Depth & X-Forwarded-For"
|
|
|
|
If `depth` is set to 2, and the request `X-Forwarded-For` header is `"10.0.0.1,11.0.0.1,12.0.0.1,13.0.0.1"` then the "real" client IP is `"10.0.0.1"` (at depth 4) but the IP used as the criterion is `"12.0.0.1"` (`depth=2`).
|
|
|
|
| `X-Forwarded-For` | `depth` | clientIP |
|
|
|-----------------------------------------|---------|--------------|
|
|
| `"10.0.0.1,11.0.0.1,12.0.0.1,13.0.0.1"` | `1` | `"13.0.0.1"` |
|
|
| `"10.0.0.1,11.0.0.1,12.0.0.1,13.0.0.1"` | `3` | `"11.0.0.1"` |
|
|
| `"10.0.0.1,11.0.0.1,12.0.0.1,13.0.0.1"` | `5` | `""` |

```
|
|
|
|
##### `ipStrategy.excludedIPs`
|
|
|
|
`excludedIPs` configures Traefik to scan the `X-Forwarded-For` header and select the first IP not in the list.
|
|
|
|
!!! important "If `depth` is specified, `excludedIPs` is ignored."
|
