public class DoSFilter
extends java.lang.Object
implements javax.servlet.Filter
```
Denial of Service filter
This filter is useful for limiting exposure to abuse from request flooding, whether malicious, or as a result of a misconfigured client.
The filter keeps track of the number of requests from a connection per second. If a limit is exceeded, the request is either rejected, delayed, or throttled.
When a request is throttled, it is placed in a queue and will only proceed when there is capacity.
The extractUserId(ServletRequest request) function should be implemented, in order to uniquely identify authenticated users.
The following init parameters control the behavior of the filter:

maxRequestsPerSec

the maximum number of requests from a connection per second. Requests in excess of this are first delayed, then throttled.

delayMs

is the delay given to all requests over the rate limit, before they are considered at all. -1 means just reject request, 0 means no delay, otherwise it is the delay.

maxWaitMs

how long to blocking wait for the throttle semaphore.

throttledRequests

is the number of requests over the rate limit able to be considered at once.

throttleMs

how long to async wait for semaphore.

maxRequestMs

how long to allow this request to run.

maxIdleTrackerMs

how long to keep track of request rates for a connection, before deciding that the user has gone away, and discarding it

insertHeaders

if true , insert the DoSFilter headers into the response. Defaults to true.

remotePort

if true then rate is tracked by IP+port (effectively connection). Defaults to false.

ipWhitelist

a comma-separated list of IP addresses that will not be rate limited

managedAttr

if set to true, then this servlet is set as a ServletContext attribute with the filter name as the attribute name. This allows context external mechanism (eg JMX via ContextHandler.MANAGED_ATTRIBUTES) to manage the configuration of the filter.

tooManyCode

The status code to send if there are too many requests. By default is 429 (too many requests), but 503 (Unavailable) is another option

This filter should be configured for DispatcherType.REQUEST and DispatcherType.ASYNC and with <async-supported>true</async-supported>.
