Package limitnet provides some network primitives, most notably throttled listener, needed by my nserv package.

ThrottledListener implements

• throttling the number of active connections (preventing depletion of server's resources and DOS attacks) and
• graceful shutdown through the Wait method.

Package features, version v1:

• throttled listener with graceful shutdown

version v0 additionally boasts:

• helper functions for writing a server with zero-downtime restarts (by passing an open fd to a child process, see nserv package for examples)

For up-to-date changelog and features list see README.

import "gopkg.in/kornel661/limitnet.v0"

or

go get gopkg.in/kornel661/limitnet.v0

Replace v0 by the version you need, see package import site and gopkg.in for import path convention.
