Hello, Using Apache Directives RlimitCPU, RlimitMEM, RlimitnPROC , we can restrict the number of process and their resource usage.

Hi, You can't set limits to a certain IP address or so. If there is large amount of accesses from a certain IP address, then you can limit that by installing particular apache moduleslike "mod-deflate". Also the directive LimitRequestBody allows you to set some resource limits for a user. But this kind of limits are applicable to all users in the server.
