Lets say I have a DMZ device taht performs rate limiting (load balancing, traffic balancing, etc.)<br />
<br />
If I balance HTTP messages (API management), the I will try to set it to something like 200 / sec. &nbsp;taht should limit the &quot;messages per second&quot; to 200 / sec.<br />
<br />
What I am unclear about is TCP or UDP<br />
<br />
If I try to limit the rate of TCP or UDP, would that only limit the packet per second, as opposed to messages per second?<br />
<br />
Thanks

HTTP vs TCP vs UDP

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux.

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
