We have some important websites hosted in our data center. Sometimes, certain IP address consumed a lot of bandwidth (5G per day) on our website. However, we don't want to block them straightway, but want to block them once they reach certain amount of access, such as 1000 visits per day, or 1000MB per day. Counter reset on second day.

Is there any network device can do this kind job?

Thanks

This sort of function is typically handled in the web server as part of your application, not in a separate appliance. How would you define 'visit'?

Thanks. That makes sense actually. Maybe forget about "visit", sorry, just forces on bandwidth checking. Is there any device can check this and do blocking? – Xin Chen Dec 7 '11 at 0:57

Yes, Cisco routers and their ASA line can throttle traffic per interface. The commands will look like this:

policy-map POLICE-INCOMING
 class VLAN10
  police 10000000 100000 exceed-action drop

class-map match-any VLAN10
 match access-group 110
