Forum: NGINX Limit downlaod speed per ip

Hello,

       Is there a way to limit speed per ip ? Doesn't matter how many
connections the single ip is consuming but he shouldn't be able to get 
more
than assigned download limit.

limit_rate directive is for per connection but not for per ip.

Looking forward to your help. Thanks

You need to do it on system level, like tc on linux or ipfw on freebsd
and so on.

Can you explain a bit ? We are using Centos 6.3.

I used to write a simple module for such purpose, It should work. Have a
try: https://github.com/yaoweibin/nginx_limit_speed_module
