I'm doing a research on DDOS protections in MQTT brokers and I started with open source Mosquitto broker. I couldn't find any countermeasure listed in the documentation page.

Since my C language knowledge is not that deep, I would like first ask this here before checking the source code. Are there any countermeasures against DDOS attacks in Mosquitto broker?

DDOS protection should be at the network level, not in the application.

By the time it's made it down the TCP/IP stack to the application, it's too late and your machine is already on it's knees
