`class LimitConnectionsByPeer(WrappingFactory): (source)`

Constructor: `LimitConnectionsByPeer(wrappedFactory)`

View In Hierarchy

Undocumented

Method | `buildProtocol` | Create an instance of a subclass of Protocol.
Method | `startFactory` | This will be called before I begin listening on a Port or Connector.
Method | `unregisterProtocol` | Called by protocols when they go away.
Class Variable | `maxConnectionsPerPeer` | Undocumented
Instance Variable | `peerConnections` | Undocumented

Inherited from `WrappingFactory`:

Method | `__init__` | Undocumented
Method | `clientConnectionFailed` | Called when a connection has failed to connect.
Method | `clientConnectionLost` | Called when an established connection is lost.
Method | `doStart` | Make sure startFactory is called.
Method | `doStop` | Make sure stopFactory is called.
Method | `logPrefix` | Generate a log prefix mentioning both the wrapped factory and this one.
Method | `registerProtocol` | Called by protocol to register itself.
Method | `startedConnecting` | Called when a connection has been started.
Instance Variable | `protocols` | Undocumented
Instance Variable | `wrappedFactory` | Undocumented

Inherited from `Factory` (via `WrappingFactory`, `ClientFactory`):

Class Method | `forProtocol` | Create a factory for the given protocol.
Method | `stopFactory` | This will be called before I stop listening on all Ports/Connectors.

def buildProtocol(self, addr): (source)
from `twisted.internet.interfaces.IProtocolFactory`
overrides `twisted.protocols.policies.WrappingFactory.buildProtocol`

Create an instance of a subclass of Protocol.

The returned instance will handle input on an incoming server connection, and an attribute "factory" pointing to the creating factory.

Alternatively, `None` may be returned to immediately close the new connection.

Override this method to alter how Protocol instances get created.

Parameters
addr | an object implementing `IAddress`

def startFactory(self): (source)
overrides `twisted.internet.protocol.Factory.startFactory`

This will be called before I begin listening on a Port or Connector.

It will only be called once, even if the factory is connected to multiple ports.

This can be used to perform 'unserialization' tasks that are best put off until things are actually running, such as connecting to a database, opening files, etcetera.

def unregisterProtocol(self, p): (source)
overrides `twisted.protocols.policies.WrappingFactory.unregisterProtocol`

Called by protocols when they go away.

maxConnectionsPerPeer: `int` = (source)
