I've spotted these settings before, but I hadn't made the connection that they could be used to push back on DDoS attacks:
	phpBB â€¢ Specific ACP Load Settings: exactly what do they do?

You can throttle the number of sessions, which would mostly impact non-legit users anyway, if we received however-many thousands of sessions our resource allocation was able to handle last time, again.
It limits the demand on the server and keeps the site online - even if the forum is messed on with again.

I thought this info might be useful for any PHPBB admins who happen to pass by.
Congratulations to user: Gumboots for getting to the bottom of how those settings operate.
