I was inspired by Daniels ClueCon 2013 talk and have decide to try to add simple rate limiting using a HTable.

$var(srcgroup) is an id that identifies the invites source/ I wish to limit invites from a given source.

$var(rateHashMin) was added just to allow simple monitoring.

I query the table via XML-RPC to get an idea of current load. 

I think it would be better to add it to a seperate table and then I could increase the exprires time to capture more of the course grain points.

I am interested in any comments.

route[SOURCE_GROUP_LIMIT] {

if (is_method("INVITE")){

$var(rateHashSec) = (str)$var(srcgroup)+":sec:"+$timef(%Y/%m/%d_%H_%M_%S);

$var(rateHashMin) = (str)$var(srcgroup)+":min:"+$timef(%Y/%m/%d_%H_%M_00);

$sht(htable_source_group_rates=>$var(rateHashSec)) = $sht(htable_source_group_rates=>$var(rateHashSec)) + 1;

$sht(htable_source_group_rates=>$var(rateHashMin)) = $sht(htable_source_group_rates=>$var(rateHashMin)) + 1;

if($sht(htable_source_group_rates=>$var(rateHashSec)) >   $sht(htable_source_group_limits=>$var(srcgroup)))

{

sl_send_reply("503", "$si over source Limit of $sht(htable_source_group_rates=>$var(rateHashSec)) /  $sht(htable_source_group_limits=>$var(srcgroup)");

exit;

}

}

}
