Hi ,

We run our own nominatim instance because we make heavy use for a custom gps system. ( 14 Million aprox requests per day, that is 10,000 clients requesting reverse geocoding every 1 minute ) , Could someone please point me to the reference documents or explain me how the connection buckets constants affect my rate limits etc . I want to have no limits on requests per second , per ip , etc. It seems that after a couple of hours the nominatim server stops working , but all the cpu , memory metrics etc are fine . We have even tried with super size configuration ( We run it on Amazon web services ).

Thanks

This are found in /settings/settings.php

 // Connection buckets to rate limit people being nasty
    @define('CONST_ConnectionBucket_MemcacheServerAddress', false);
    @define('CONST_ConnectionBucket_MemcacheServerPort', 11211);
    @define('CONST_ConnectionBucket_MaxBlockList', 100);
    @define('CONST_ConnectionBucket_LeakRate', 1);
    @define('CONST_ConnectionBucket_BlockLimit', 10);
    @define('CONST_ConnectionBucket_WaitLimit', 6);
    @define('CONST_ConnectionBucket_MaxSleeping', 10);
    @define('CONST_ConnectionBucket_Cost_Reverse', 1);
    @define('CONST_ConnectionBucket_Cost_Search', 2);
    @define('CONST_ConnectionBucket_Cost_Details', 3);
    @define('CONST_ConnectionBucket_Cost_Status', 1);

You need to provide a memcached server to enable rate limiting. If you have a line like this

@define('CONST_ConnectionBucket_MemcacheServerAddress', false);

then rate limiting is off (which is the default). Also note that the rate limiting code has been completely removed since Nominatim 3.0.

It means that by default it is not applying any rate limit and my issue is somewhere else. Thanks for your knowledge
