You can also use the ''limit'' expression for traffic policing in a rule using the ''ingress'' hook in the new ''netdev'' family (instead of using the ''tc'' command).

			The ''over'' keyword allows you to use ''limit'' intuitively in a chain with ''policy accept'':

Created page with "You can ratelimit traffic through ''limit''. The following example shows how to accept a maximum of 10 ICMP echo-request packets per second: <source lang="bash"> % nft add r..."

New page

You can ratelimit traffic through ''limit''.

The following example shows how to accept a maximum of 10 ICMP echo-request packets per second:

<source lang="bash">
% nft add rule filter input icmp type echo-request limit rate 10/second accept
</source>

Since Linux kernel 4.3, you can also ratelimit per bytes:

<source lang="bash">
% nft add rule filter input limit rate 10 mbytes/second accept
</source>

The rule above accepts traffic below the 10 mbytes/seconds rate.

You can also use the ''burst'' parameter to indicate the number of packets/bytes you can exceed the ratelimit:

<source lang="bash">
% nft add rule filter input limit rate 10 mbytes/second burst 9000 kbytes accept
</source>

This indicates that you can exceed the ratelimit in 9000 kbytes.

You can also use it for packets:

<source lang="bash">
% nft add rule filter input icmp type echo-request limit rate 10/second burst 2 packets counter accept
</source>

So you can exceed the rate in 2 packets.

The ''limit'' expression, you can use this for traffic policing from ''ingress'' too, as alternative to ''tc'' from the new ''netdev'' family.
