Configuring connection limits
Overview
An internal user initiating a large quantity of connections to external networks in a short period of time
occupies large amounts of system resources on the device, limiting access to network resources for
other users. An internal server that receives large numbers of connection requests within a short
period of time cannot process them in time or accept other normal connection requests.
To avoid such situations, you can configure connection limit policies to limit the number of
connections.
