Network Limits are settings that can be applied to a Pull Zone to control performance and improve security. These limits help prevent abuse, control bandwidth costs, and protect against DDoS attacks. Configure these options in your Pull Zone under Limits:
Network limits

​
Download speed limits

Limits the maximum transfer speed per network connection, in kB/s. Set to 0 for unlimited. This setting works together with Limit after (see below).

​
Limit after

The amount of data transferred in a single request after which the client will be rate limited, in kB. Set to 0 for unlimited (rate limiting applies immediately if Download speed limits is set). For example, if Limit after is set to 2000, the first 2 MB of each request transfers at full speed. After that, the Download speed limit kicks in.
This is useful for video delivery. It allows fast video seeking while preventing the browser from downloading too much unnecessary data ahead of playback.

​
Requests limits

Limits the maximum number of requests per second for a single IP. Set to 0 for unlimited. This helps prevent abuse and reduces the impact of simple DDoS attacks.

​
Burst requests

The number of requests per second allowed before the limit is applied. Set to 0 to disable burst. This allows users to briefly exceed the rate limit, which is useful when:
  • A webpage loads and makes many simultaneous asset requests
  • A user opens multiple tabs at once
Additional requests beyond the burst allowance are slowed down to match the Requests limits setting.

​
Maximum connections per IP

Limits the maximum number of allowed connections to the zone per IP. Set to 0 for unlimited. Use this to:
  • Prevent users from downloading many files at the same time
  • Mitigate DDoS attacks
This limit is applied per server. If a user connects to multiple Bunny locations or a location has multiple IPs, the limit applies separately to each server.

​
Monthly bandwidth limit

Limits the allowed bandwidth used in a month, in GB. If the limit is reached, the zone will be disabled. Set to 0 for unlimited.
Once the monthly limit is hit, your Pull Zone stops working until the next billing cycle. Use this carefully to avoid unexpected downtime.
