web2py doesn't impose any limits ... you can have a "hosting" app that needs to receive 1GB file and you can have a data-entry app that needs 150 fields to be sent over the wire. Usually web2py is behind a webserver that has "sane" defaults that, in any case, NEED tuning on a per-app base. Mitigating DDoS attacks is never easy: the culprit of all is just let "something" deal with it. You definitely don't want any python code involved in that "mitigation", but in any case, if you're not "sized" accordingly, there's no countermeasure (aside from a firewall rule that will block incoming connection from the offending ip addresses) that will effectively help to deal with it.
