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