| Summary | 0006451: consider strategies for rate limiting requests in exchange and merchant | ||||
| Description | Currently it is easily possible to DoS the exchange or merchant by just doing certain requests for the same resource in a busy loop. This will result in database conflicts, also killing other transactions. We need to think about strategies to prevent this. Note that this doesn't have to be a malicious attack, these scenarios easily happen accidentally (as we witnessed with the PoS). | ||||
