Pause server by mayfield · Pull Request #448 · python/asyncio
Add a `pause`/`resume` API to `Server` which removes/adds a server's
listening sockets on its event loop selector. This facility allows DoS
prevention from SYN flooding connection herds.
Add `max_connections` kwarg to `loop.create_server` and `Server` which
controls pause/resume behavior when not `None`.
Notes:
1. Using Server.pause/resume and create_server(max_connections) are
mutually exclusive.
2. The listen backlog and accept semantics are not taken into consideration.
As a result the actual number of connections established will vary
and should be considered platform and/or event loop dependant.
