# InFlightReq
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Limiting the Number of Simultaneous In-Flight Requests
 | 
						|
{: .subtitle }
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To proactively prevent services from being overwhelmed with high load, the number of allowed simultaneous in-flight requests can be limited.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Configuration Examples
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```yaml tab="Docker & Swarm"
 | 
						|
labels:
 | 
						|
  - "traefik.http.middlewares.test-inflightreq.inflightreq.amount=10"
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```yaml tab="Kubernetes"
 | 
						|
apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
 | 
						|
kind: Middleware
 | 
						|
metadata:
 | 
						|
  name: test-inflightreq
 | 
						|
spec:
 | 
						|
  inFlightReq:
 | 
						|
    amount: 10
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```yaml tab="Consul Catalog"
 | 
						|
# Limiting to 10 simultaneous connections
 | 
						|
- "traefik.http.middlewares.test-inflightreq.inflightreq.amount=10"
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```yaml tab="File (YAML)"
 | 
						|
# Limiting to 10 simultaneous connections
 | 
						|
http:
 | 
						|
  middlewares:
 | 
						|
    test-inflightreq:
 | 
						|
      inFlightReq:
 | 
						|
        amount: 10
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```toml tab="File (TOML)"
 | 
						|
# Limiting to 10 simultaneous connections
 | 
						|
[http.middlewares]
 | 
						|
  [http.middlewares.test-inflightreq.inFlightReq]
 | 
						|
    amount = 10
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Configuration Options
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `amount`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The `amount` option defines the maximum amount of allowed simultaneous in-flight request.
 | 
						|
The middleware responds with `HTTP 429 Too Many Requests` if there are already `amount` requests in progress (based on the same `sourceCriterion` strategy).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```yaml tab="Docker & Swarm"
 | 
						|
labels:
 | 
						|
  - "traefik.http.middlewares.test-inflightreq.inflightreq.amount=10"
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```yaml tab="Kubernetes"
 | 
						|
apiVersion: traefik.io/v1alpha1
 | 
						|
kind: Middleware
 | 
						|
metadata:
 | 
						|
  name: test-inflightreq
 | 
						|
spec:
 | 
						|
  inFlightReq:
 | 
						|
    amount: 10
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```yaml tab="Consul Catalog"
 | 
						|
# Limiting to 10 simultaneous connections
 | 
						|
- "traefik.http.middlewares.test-inflightreq.inflightreq.amount=10"
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```yaml tab="File (YAML)"
 | 
						|
# Limiting to 10 simultaneous connections
 | 
						|
http:
 | 
						|
  middlewares:
 | 
						|
    test-inflightreq:
 | 
						|
      inFlightReq:
 | 
						|
        amount: 10
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```toml tab="File (TOML)"
 | 
						|
# Limiting to 10 simultaneous connections
 | 
						|
[http.middlewares]
 | 
						|
  [http.middlewares.test-inflightreq.inFlightReq]
 | 
						|
    amount = 10
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### `sourceCriterion`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The `sourceCriterion` option defines what criterion is used to group requests as originating from a common source.
 | 
						|
If several strategies are defined at the same time, an error will be raised.
 | 
						|
If none are set, the default is to use the `requestHost`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### `sourceCriterion.ipStrategy`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The `ipStrategy` option defines three parameters that configures how Traefik determines the client IP: `depth`, `excludedIPs` and `ipv6Subnet`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
!!! important "As a middleware, InFlightReq happens before the actual proxying to the backend takes place. In addition, the previous network hop only gets appended to `X-Forwarded-For` during the last stages of proxying, i.e. after it has already passed through the middleware. Therefore, during InFlightReq, as the previous network hop is not yet present in `X-Forwarded-For`, it cannot be used and/or relied upon."
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
##### `ipStrategy.depth`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The `depth` option tells Traefik to use the `X-Forwarded-For` header and select the IP located at the `depth` position (starting from the right).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- If `depth` is greater than the total number of IPs in `X-Forwarded-For`, then the client IP is empty.
 | 
						|
- `depth` is ignored if its value is less than or equal to 0.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If `ipStrategy.ipv6Subnet` is provided and the selected IP is IPv6, the IP is transformed into the first IP of the subnet it belongs to.  
 | 
						|
See [ipStrategy.ipv6Subnet](#ipstrategyipv6subnet) for more details.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
!!! example "Example of Depth & X-Forwarded-For"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    If `depth` is set to 2, and the request `X-Forwarded-For` header is `"10.0.0.1,11.0.0.1,12.0.0.1,13.0.0.1"` then the "real" client IP is `"10.0.0.1"` (at depth 4) but the IP used as the criterion is `"12.0.0.1"` (`depth=2`).
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    | `X-Forwarded-For`                       | `depth` | clientIP     |
 | 
						|
    |-----------------------------------------|---------|--------------|
 | 
						|
    | `"10.0.0.1,11.0.0.1,12.0.0.1,13.0.0.1"` | `1`     | `"13.0.0.1"` |

##### `ipStrategy.excludedIPs`
 | 
						|

`excludedIPs` configures Traefik to scan the `X-Forwarded-For` header and select the first IP not in the list.

						|

```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
##### `ipStrategy.ipv6Subnet`
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This strategy applies to `Depth` and `RemoteAddr` strategy only.
 | 
						|
If `ipv6Subnet` is provided and the selected IP is IPv6, the IP is transformed into the first IP of the subnet it belongs to.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This is useful for grouping IPv6 addresses into subnets to prevent bypassing this middleware by obtaining a new IPv6.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- `ipv6Subnet` is ignored if its value is outside of 0-128 interval
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
!!! example "Example of ipv6Subnet"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    If `ipv6Subnet` is provided, the IP is transformed in the following way.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    | `IP`                      | `ipv6Subnet` | clientIP              |
 | 
						|
