Valentin,
Thank you so much for your example. It definitely helps.
When you say "A client IP address serves as a key. [...]. One megabyte zone can keep about 16 thousand 64-byte states." Does that mean that 1 megabyte zone can keep the state on 16 thousand different sending IP addresses?
What about the following 2 use cases:
Use Case #1: One receives 10 requests per second from 10 different clients/IPs each of them sending 1 request per second
Use Case #2: One receives 10 requests per second from 1 client/IP sending 10 requests per second.
Should the zone size be different?
Thank you.
