This is a very high-level video on configuring connection limits at the virtual server level. You can also apply this limit globally and to a route domain. In the video, I mention this is a start and AFM is still recommended. My intent is to advise that AFM provides enhanced DDoS protections that LTM natively doesn't. By creating a DDoS profile in AFM and assigning it to your LTM virtual server, you can easily deny traffic that has been identified as DoS traffic while allowing valid users to access your service. LTM is simply allowing administrators to establish a maximum number of connections and an eviction policy to determine how to evict those connections from the BIG-IP once that limit is reached.
