Request limiting is controlled via the configuration system; simply include bedrock-request-limiter and set the maximum number of requests per IP per hour to allow.

var bedrock = require('bedrock');

require('bedrock-server');
require('bedrock-express');
require('bedrock-request-limiter');

// limit number of requests per hour per IP address (0 means no limit)
bedrock.config.limiter.ipRequestsPerHour = 3600;

bedrock.start();
