This is pretty rough, read the source. It's a fork of https://github.com/rook2pawn/node-ddos
with a few essential improvements
Let's review Configuration
Let's go over the configuration options to help illustrate how this module works. All of the configurations default to the following:
_params.maxcount = 30;
_params.burst = 5;
_params.limit = _params.burst * 4;
_params.maxexpiry = 120;
_params.checkinterval = 1;
_params.errormessage = 'Error';
_params.testmode = false;
_params.silent = false;
_params.silentStart = false;
_params.responseStatus = 429;
params.limit
limit is the number of maximum counts allowed. If the count exceeds the limit, then the request is denied. Recommended limit is to use a multiple of the number of bursts.
params.burst
Burst is the number or amount of allowable burst requests before the client starts being penalized. When the client is penalized, the expiration is increased by twice the previous expiration.
params.maxexpiry
maxexpiry is the seconds of maximum amount of expiration time. In order for the user to use whatever service you are providing again, they have to wait through the expiration time.
params.checkinterval
checkinterval is the seconds between updating the internal table.
params.errormessage
When a request is denied, the user receives a 429 and the error message.
params.responseStatus
By default HTTP status code 429 (Too Many Requests) are sent in response.

Looking for a more advanced Koa test!
