More info on the Repose rate limiter here:

http://wiki.openrepose.org/display/REPOSE/Rate+Limiting+Filter

The rate limiter has the concept of limit groups -- you can specify rate limits for a particular group -- then introspect the request to see which group applies. Typically a user can be placed in a particular group etc. When rate limiting keystone, you might want to rate limit authentication attempts. The issue there is that the user has not gone through an auth process so you can't necessarily ID the user. We use the concept of quality, where different middle ware components take a guess about what limit group to use. This allows the rate limiter to rate limit by say IP address, data in the URI, or the content of the message etc.

See: http://wiki.openrepose.org/display/REPOSE/Header+Value+Quality
And: http://wiki.openrepose.org/display/REPOSE/Identity+Filters <http://wiki.openrepose.org/display/REPOSE/Identity+Filters>

Sorry, our docs are a little sparse.

REPOSE would be worth taking a look at, as well (includes rate limiting):

    Have you taken a look at Turnstile and the related integration
    package,
    nova_limits?  Unfortunately, trunk Turnstile doesn't support
    multiprocess, but I intend to address that as soon as job
    responsibilities permit.

Thank you guys for the info, I didn't know about some of the projects. However writing my "on-house" own stuff is not what I was considering but adding a middleware into Keystone, nothing fancy but extensible so it covers at least most basic use cases, pretty much like nova middleware. So , would you like to see something like that into keystone or you don't?
