The Citrix ADC appliance provides the surge protection option to maintain the capacity of a server or cache. The appliance regulates the flow of client requests to servers and controls the number of clients that can simultaneously access the servers. The appliance blocks any surges passed to the server, thus preventing overloading of the server.

For surge protection to function correctly, you must enable it globally. For more information about surge protection, seeSurge Protection.

Example:

set service Service-HTTP-1 -sp ON
