HP Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator manual Viewing Current Connections

Viewing Current Connections

The Network - Current Connections report displays the connections that are intercepted through the HP EFS WAN Accelerator, including the connections that are passed through unoptimized.

The Network - Current Connections report contains the following Current Connections table of statistics that summarize current connections.

Packet Type	Description
Established	Specifies the total established active connections.
Half Opened	Specifies the total half-opened active connections. A half-
	opened connection is a TCP connection in which the
	connection has not been fully established. Half-opened
	connections count toward the connection count limit on the
	HP EFS WAN Accelerator because at any time they might
	become a fully opened connection.
	If you are experiencing a large number of half-opened
	connections, you might consider a more appropriately sized
	HP EFS WAN Accelerator.
Half Closed	Specifies the total half-closed active connections. Half-
	closed connections are connections which the HP EFS WAN
	Accelerator has intercepted and optimized but are in the
	process of becoming inactive. These connections are
	counted toward the connection count limit on the HP EFS
	WAN Accelerator. (Half closed connections might remain if
	the client or server does not close their connections cleanly.)
	If you are experiencing a large number of half-closed
	connections, you might consider a more appropriately sized
	HP EFS WAN Accelerator.
Pass-Through	Specifies the total connections passed through, unoptimized
	when the connection limit has been reached.
Forwarded	Specifies the total number of connections that were
	forwarded when you have configured a connection
	forwarding neighbor to manage the connection.

The Network - Current Connections report also contains the following Discarded/ Denied Connections table of statistics that summarize discarded or denied connections.

	Packet Type		Description
	Discarded		Specifies the total number of discarded connections.
			Discarded packets for the connection that match the Discard
			rule are dropped silently.
	Denied		Specifies the total number of denied connections. (When
			packets for connections match a Deny rule, the appliance
			actively tries to reset the connection.)
	NOTE: If the connection is in an unknown state, the line is greyed-out.
