Server-side rate control

[jungh...@snapchat.com]

Hello,

What is the best way to provide a rate control to C++ gRPC server like limiting the maximum active requests and the maximum pending requests?

Does gRPC already provide such a functionality?

Thanks,

I am not as familiar with the C++ version of the library, but you can get such limits from HTTP/2.  You can set the max concurrent streams to limit how many requests are inbound.  You can also use flow control to limit how many requests per second you actually take.
