Ok, is it something you would consider in the core? Today it's pretty easy to crash a RabbitMQ server with a very small amount of traffic.

<br/>&gt; &gt; Is it possible to create a plugin that will monitor new
<br/>&gt; &gt; channels/consumers/declarations in real-time and block (disconnect) if too
<br/>&gt; &gt; many are made in a short amount of time?
<br/>&gt; 
<br/>&gt; You can monitor some of that in real-time using tracing and try to block certain connections
<br/>&gt; by changing their state. That is fairly intrusive and may be not entirely trivial to do from 
<br/>&gt; a plugin, though.
