If the application accepts requests from the network, it is prone to DoS attacks. The primary defense can be established by limiting the number of requests the application can process based on the requesting user or IP address. By limiting the number of requests, you can not only avoid DoS attacks, but also improve the application performance during high workloads. When the capacity of the server peaks, it may be unable to respond to requests. Limiting requests ensures that the demand is responded to in an expected manner.
