The bindAndHandle methods on the Http extension for a while now have offered this warning:
Note that there is no backpressure being applied to the connections Source, > i.e. all connections are being accepted at maximum rate, which, depending > on the applications, might present a DoS risk! I looked at the Source a little, and I don't know if this is recent or not, but I see a mapAsyncUnordered(settings.maxConnections) in there. Does this code negate the need for that warning now as it serves to limit the numbed of requests that flow downstream into the handling code? Does one still need to apply explicit handling to the connections Source (via something like buffer with a strategy to dropNew) to really avoid a DoS risk? -- >>>>>>>>>> Read the docs: http://akka.io/docs/ >>>>>>>>>> Check the FAQ: >>>>>>>>>> http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka/current/additional/faq.html >>>>>>>>>> Search the archives: https://groups.google.com/group/akka-user --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Akka User List" group.
