8.2 Session control

Session management controls the acceptable maximum simultaneous sessions of Intranet

PCs. This function is very useful for managing connection quantity when P2P software such as BT,

Thunder, or emule is used in the Intranet causing large numbers of sessions. Setting up proper

limitations on sessions can effectively control the sessions created by P2P software. It will also

have a limiting effect on bandwidth usage.

In addition, if any Intranet PC is attacked by a virus like Worm.Blaster and sends a huge

number of session requests, session control will restrict that as well.

session:

This option enables the restriction of maximum external sessions

to each Intranet PC. When the number of external sessions

reaches the limit, to allow new sessions to be built, some of the

existing sessions must be closed. For example, when BT or P2P is

being used to download information and the sessions exceed the

limit, the user will be unable to connect with other services until

either BT or P2P is closed.
