In general, yes. Denial of service is a fairly broad term, though, and
if there's a computationally-expensive request that a client can send,
then it may be worth rate-limiting it. Or if there's a request that
causes your server to send out inordinate amounts of data, and you're
running it on a typical home internet connection, then that's a DOS
vector too. So it's not only an iptables issue.

But yes. The "system" is the entire system, not just the Python code
you're writing.
