This feature must be switched on for your website by Commerce Vision.
When enabled, this setting allows the monitoring and restricting of incoming concurrent requests to your site by unique IP addresses. Both page views and dynamic service request totals can be monitored. Threshold values for either or both can be set so that if the number of views/requests reach threshold values set per unique IP address, subsequent requests will be blocked. Such data are collected and can be viewed. Specific IP addresses can be excluded from being checked.
