About

mod_qos is a quality of service (QoS) module for the Apache web server that implements configurable control mechanisms to prioritize and manage HTTP requests to preserve server resources under load.

It offers limits on concurrent requests per URL or IP, per-second request rate caps, VIP user rules, and request blocking, delay, throttling, and connection dropping to avoid overload and mitigate traffic spikes.

mod_rpaf is an Apache module that restores the original client IP address when Apache runs behind a reverse proxy by rewriting REMOTE_ADDR based on X-Forwarded-For headers.
