net.i2p.router.networkdb.kademlia.FloodThrottler

class FloodThrottler
extends Object

Provides basic denial-of-service protection for database flood operations.

Tracks recent flood frequency for each key to prevent excessive flooding of the same data. Implements simple rate limiting with configurable thresholds and automatic cleanup of expired counters.

Offers lightweight DOS protection by rejecting flood operations that exceed maximum frequency limits within a time window. This is a partial solution and should be used in conjunction with other security mechanisms for comprehensive protection.
