The default for the maximum number of client connections is 400 according to https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-plenum/blob/main/plenum/config.py#L289 But the ddos protection (run/add_ddos_protection_iptables_rule.sh) defaults to 1500 maximum connections. This discrepancy makes indy-node still susceptible to ddos attacks. Signed-off-by: Jens Schedel <jens.schedel@ul.com>
