How To Install mod_qos on Fedora 34

mod_qos is Quality of service module for Apache

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install mod_qos on Fedora 34.

What is mod_qos

The mod_qos module may be used to determine which requests should be served and which shouldn’t in order to avoid resource over-subscription. The module collects different attributes such as the request URL, HTTP request and response headers, the IP source address, the HTTP response code, history data (based on user session and source IP address), the number of concurrent requests to the server (total or requests having similar attributes), the number of concurrent TCP connections (total or from a single source IP), and so forth. Counteractive measures to enforce the defined rules are dynamic timeout adjustment, request delay, response throttling, and dropping of TCP connections.
