Jimmy, Thank you for the reply. I ended up doing that essentially. I changed the default variable settings for throttling to be as tolerant as possible and then recompiled it. It hasn't been a problem since then. Thanks,

Hi, We are running Bahamut 2.0.7 on our network and we have had issues with the throttling. Our servers are very busy and we have lots of users connecting from the same IP due to firewall NAT going on. Right now we have to set the throttle settings for our servers after each restart. We would like to recompile Bahamut and disable throttling. I tried modifying the config.h file to change "#DEFINE THROTTLE_ENABLE" to "#UNDEF THROTTLE_ENABLE" and tried to recompile the software. However, I received errors during compilation such as:

***/src/m_webirc.c: 127: undefined reference to `throttle_check' ** /rc/m_webirc.c: 82 : undefined reference to `throttle_remove'

    I was wonder what is best  way to disable throttling ?

Rather than attempting to "disable", I would suggest you tune THROTTLE_TRIGCOUNT by increasing the value to 100 or 1000 or a large enough number connections per second until throttling is no longer triggered.

Any assistance at all will be appreciated.

Jimmy, Correction: When I type "/set throttle" It responds with "No such variable." It otherwise seems to be working just fine. I just need to be sure throttling is effectively disabled though before going live with the new chat server.

Jimmy, I ran into another problem that I was hoping you might be able to assist me with. I recompiled the software onto a new operating system version (using RHEL 7 whereas previously I used RHEL 6). I noticed that when I do the command "/set throttle" I no longer see the variable settings. It just says "no variable name". I compared the config.h and setup.h files and the cksum matches exactly with what I used previously to compile the software. Would changing the operating system RHEL 7 cause the software to disable throttling? What are your thoughts on this? Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
