Kron DAM implements monitoring of client packet traffic at the SQL proxy layer after a session is established by analyzing packets directed to a database, such as queries and ping operations. When the number of client packets sent to a database exceeds the threshold defined in the System Configuration Manager, traffic is restricted. This mechanism helps detect abnormal traffic patterns targeting a database and prevents potential misuse, ensuring system performance and stability.
