[OpenSIPS-Users] ratelimit per method per subscriber

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Jeff,

you are right...it is a bit complicated ...based on $Ts (timestamp) you 
could reset from time to time the counter, so that we can get values for 
particular time intervals. (like if $Ts modulo 10 is zero, reset it -> 
20 secs intervals).  Just an idea....

Regards,
Bogdan
