Hello Netfilter

Iam trying to limit the amount of connections/sec and requests/sec my 
server sends to a single destination IP. At the same time iam looking to 
account/poll periodically what those values are for statistics .

Is there a simple way I can accomplish this with iptables or some other 
feature in the linux kernel?

Thanks for the help

Alex
