Request Limits

  • Last updated on

Request limits define the validation criteria for incoming requests by enforcing size limits on request header fields, cookie names and values, and overall request length. Requests with properties larger than the specified maximum values are presumed to be buffer overflow attacks and are dropped.

Request Limits are enabled by default. You can change one or more of the default values, as needed. Settings include limits on URL length, cookie length, number of cookies, and number of headers. 

Barracuda WAF-as-a-Service examines the request until it hits the default length specified in Request Limits. If only a small number of bytes must be parsed before denying requests, setting smaller limits can lead to a slight performance improvement. Alternatively, if the default values are resulting in too many drops, you can increase the default values.
