Figure 4-79. Outbound Connection Reservation Implication
■ If the current connection count in Zone1 is 10,500 (500 connections of
which are reserved), and 500 non-reserved connections are closed, then
the Zone1 limit will revert to its limit of 10,000. At this point the Zone1
maximum connection threshold (10,000) already provides for the
reserved connections. Any other new connections from Zone1 to any zone
will not be successful. However, if the connection limits for other zones
have not been reached, new connections can be made to and from those
zones.
Inbound Example. In an inbound reservation, you are reserving connec-
tions from the specified zone to the specified IP address(es).
Suppose the same four zones as in the previous example have the same limit
of 10,000 each. The global maximum connections limit remains at 40,000
(4 x 10,000).
