Use this screen to limit the number of concurrent NAT sessions a client can use, to ensure that no single 
client uses up too many available NAT sessions. Some applications, such as P2P file sharing, demand a 
greater number of NAT sessions in order to get a better uploading and downloading rate. Click Network 
Setting > NAT > Sessions to display the following screen.
Use the Sessions screen to limit the number of concurrent NAT sessions each client can use. Click 
Network Setting > NAT > Sessions to open the Sessions screen.
Note: Enter a number of concurrent NAT sessions in the MAX NAT Session Per Host field, and 
click Apply to limit the number of concurrent NAT sessions a client can use. Otherwise, 
clear the number in the MAX NAT Session Per Host field. Click Apply and there is no limit 
for concurrent NAT sessions a client can use.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
MAX NAT Session Per Host Use this field to set a common limit to the number of concurrent NAT 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.
