Enable Session

Select this check box to control the number of concurrent sessions hosts

Default Session

Use this field to set a common limit to the number of concurrent NAT/

per Host

firewall sessions each client computer can have.

 

If only a few clients use peer to peer applications, you can raise this

 

number to improve their performance. With heavy peer to peer

 

application use, lower this number to ensure no single client uses too

 

many of the available NAT sessions.

 

Create rules below to apply other limits for specific users or addresses.
