# MinIO Server Throttling Guide [![Slack](https://slack.min.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.min.io) [![Docker Pulls](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/minio/minio.svg?maxAge=604800)](https://hub.docker.com/r/minio/minio/)

MinIO server allows to throttle incoming requests:

- limit the number of active requests allowed across the cluster
- limit the wait duration for each request in the queue

Certificates are no secrets and sent in plaintext as part of the TLS handshake.

A subroute on a client must match a subroute on the server. So routes cannot be used for dynamic routing, unlike HTTP.

Handlers should remain backwards compatible. If a breaking API change is required, a new handler ID should be created.

## Setup & Configuration

A **Manager** is used to manage all incoming and outgoing connections to a server.

On startup all remote servers must be specified. 

#
# To run it locally, start the LDAP server in github.com/minio/minio-iam-testing
# repo (e.g. make podman-run), and then run this script.
#
# This script assumes that LDAP server is at:
#
#   `localhost:1389`
#
# if this is not the case, set the environment variable
# `_MINIO_LDAP_TEST_SERVER`.

#### Site

```
KEY:
site  label the server and its location

ARGS:
name     (string)    name for the site e.g. "cal-rack0"
region   (string)    name of the location of the server e.g. "us-west-1"
comment  (sentence)  optionally add a comment to this setting
```

- *MINIO_NTP_SERVER* environment variable can be set to remote NTP server endpoint if system time is not desired for setting retention dates.
