API DoS and DDoS threshold

API DoS and DDoS threshold 11.

API Flow Control reports on API Security Enforcer (ASE) configured flow control thresholds that are exceeded. The reporting is done on the following parameters:

Client Spike – inbound client traffic rate
Server Spike – aggregate traffic to an application programming interface (API) service
Connection Queued – connection requests queued due to server at concurrent connection limit
Bytes-in Spike – WebSocket aggregate inbound traffic exceeds limit
Bytes-out Spike - WebSocket aggregate outbound traffic exceeds limit

API DoS and DDoS threshold and reporting is only available when ASE is deployed in inline mode.

For a specified API, the flow control API provides a summary of thresholds exceeded and detailed reporting on each flow control threshold exceeded:
