Excessive Websocket Connection Requests by did:schema

[Pratap2018]

Issue Summary

The did:schema driver sent approximately 365k websocket connection requests within a 24-hour period.

Incident Details

According to @S3bb1, the did:schema from uni-resolver has been generating these websocket connection requests for the past couple of weeks. Eventually, @S3bb1 blocked the IP address of the uni-resolver node and reached out to @Pratap2018. To address the situation, @Pratap2018 restarted the pod, after which @S3bb1 unblocked the IP address since that pod was using their infrastructure.

After 24h no excessive connections have been made. From my point of view, the restart helped to resolve the issue.
