Method and router for limiting client connections to a server

摘要

A router in a network routes an input packet based on a destination address of the packet. The router, upon reception of a packet regarding a connection between a server and a client, determines whether or not to grant a connection to the server based on a set of criteria. If determined that a connection is possible, a message is transmitted for reserving bandwidth between two routers which are used for relaying packets between the client and the server.
