I think the best way to do this is with your load balancer/ proxy (i.e nginx/ apache). Im not sure if Rocket can get the IP of a request coming through anyway. |

I would go with something like nginx for the moment, yes hard to write custom hashing functions and it has no context of the api. Just a heads up, I‘m working on something to collect examples and best-practices like compression, cors and also rate limiting with rocket. But Since Im currently undergoing some exams that might take some months |

Maybe you could lock a Mutex at the start of the route function and drop it after a specified time in another thread. |

Hey all,
I was working on a web API and wanted to know: how would I go about creating a guard to limit the rate at which a particular route can be called?
