+## Feature 10: Usage Rate Monitoring and Automatic Suspension
+
+Routlin Pro will track inbound and outbound traffic rates per external IP address and automatically suspend connections that exceed configurable thresholds.
+
+- **Per-IP rate monitoring** - real-time tracking of bandwidth consumption by external source/destination IP
+- **Configurable rate limits** - set thresholds by bytes per second, requests per second, or connection count within a rolling time window
+- **Automatic suspension** - IPs exceeding limits are temporarily blocked via nftables; the block duration is configurable (e.g. 5 minutes, 1 hour, permanent until manually cleared)
+- **Dashboard visibility** - live view of top external IPs by usage, with current rate, total bytes transferred, and suspension status
+- **Allowlist** - trusted IPs (CDNs, VPN endpoints, remote offices) can be exempted from rate enforcement
+- **Alerting** - optional notifications when an IP is suspended, including the triggering rule and measured rate
+
+Designed to protect against bandwidth abuse, accidental runaway processes, and low-level denial-of-service from external sources without requiring a full IPS deployment.

 ## Feature 9: Mobile-Aware Dashboard Layout
 
 Routlin Pro will include a responsive, mobile-optimized layout for the entire dashboard, allowing administrators to monitor and manage their network from a phone or tablet.
