The bar displays what percent of the ZyWALL's heap memory is in use. The bar
turns from green to red when the maximum is being approached.

This includes all sessions that are currently:
• Traversing the ZyWALL
• Terminating at the ZyWALL
• Initiated from the ZyWALL
The second number is the maximum number of sessions that can be open at one
time.
The bar displays what percent of the maximum number of sessions is in use. The
