ASA max concurrent connections

If I have a thousand nodes from the public each perform a UDP ping to a server behind the ASA, does each count as a concurrent connection?

Hi,
I imagine it does.
Also I guess if we are talking about just some random UDP traffic it would also mean that the default timeout for a connection would be 2min. The most usual UDP traffic would probably be DNS querys. In those cases I presume though that the UDP connections dont stay on firewall for long as long as the firewall sees the DNS reply.
But as I said if we are talking about some random UDP traffic that is allowed through the firewall I would guess it stays in the connection table of the firewall for a couple of minutes. So you might be looking at 1000 concurrent connections or even more?
I have once witnessed a single server sending so much UDP traffic that it reached the connection limit of an ASA5540 which is 400 000 concurrent connections.

  • Max Concurrent connections supported by UTL_HTTP

    Hi,
    Can anyone help me out to find how many concurrent connections can UTL_HTTP.REQUEST_PIECES support. Is there any parameter that governs max no.of connections? If so, pls post the parameter name.

    Assaf:  as always, thanks so much for the info!
    When you say double-sided, do you mean a memory stick which has chips on both sides; as in 8 chips on each side?
    I bought the Kingston memory one stick of 128MB PC100/PC133 which has chips on one side.  I also bought the 256MB PC100/PC133 which has chips on both sides.
    I currently have both these memory sticks in the MS 6119 and they appear to be working well.  I am running Prime95 torture test just to make sure everything is working as it should be.
    Currently I have the following memory in the MS 6119:
    Bank 0 - the original PC100 128MB stick which has 8 chips on each side.
    Bank 1 - the Kingston (KVR133Q/128R) PC100/PC133 128MB with 8 chips on one side.
    Bank 2 - the kingston (KVR 133Q/256R) PC100/PC133 256MB with 8 chips on both sides.
    The total is, of course is 512MB - and appears to be working just fine.  Windows LOVES RAM  :D

  • Max concurrent connections

    Coming back to a topic that was posted a few months ago with
    an
    additional question:
    >I believe you mean to ask, "What is the maximum number of
    >concurrent connections such as those used in loadMovie or
    XML.load?"
    >If this is what you're asking then there are no current
    limits. However,
    >the sending server may limit concurrent connections for a

    >to any number so the loads may fail if they exceed this
    limit. The
    >limitations are therefore server-based, not Flash based,
    and they will
    >differ from server to server.
    My question:
    While Flash doesn't enforce a limit, do any/all browsers
    enforce
    limits? If I wanted to load up 50, 100, 200 movies at once,
    where if
    anywhere would I be limited?
    Also, it seems that, in a test program loading a bunch of
    images from a server concurrently, I am not able to get more than
    two at once. Is this purely a server issue?

  • Kernel parameter for large concurrent connections database.

    Hi,
    Does any one have suggestion about kernel parameters we have to modify for large concurrent connections database (about 20000 concurrent connections) ? We would like to use Sun M8000 as our database server. Oracle installation guide indicated many parameters and values, but it seems ok for general database, not the one we need. Please somebody help us. Thanks !

    I certainly don't have any idea where the 150G memory usage for 20000 concurrent users come about. That's 7.5MB per user session.
    The session memory usage is depends on Oracle version, OS , Database configuration and application behavior etc..
    From following query we can tell, average session memory usage is around 1.5M in normal usage on 10g linux platform.
    It could go up to 20-30M if user session doing large data manipulation.

  • Network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server keeps reverting to user set 4

    I didn't used to have this problem as far as I'm aware, but as of recently, I've noticed that if I try to download more than 4 of one thing at a time from the same site, it would fail. For instance, if I have up 5 web pages of streaming content, only 4 will load, the other 5th one will do nothing until I finish one of the others. Upon looking up some information on this, I saw that the network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server is set at "user set = 4", and if I change that number to anything else, it corresponds. If I click to 'reset' the number, it goes to the default of 6 - which is still less than what it used to be. I used to not even have a limit on this as far as I'm aware, or if I did, it was well beyond 10 and that wasn't a product of me manipulating it.
    What I'm asking is this:
    1) How do I make this so it permanently switches to a higher number? Every time I reset it to 6 or I manually change the number to something higher, once I close it, those settings go back to 4.
    2) Why is it reverting and not staying the way I change it?
    3) What's the purpose of this and why is it just recently doing it when I haven't put any new add-ons or made any other refinements to Firefox that I'm aware of?
    Any help would be appreciated

    Two possible causes for it resetting to 4 that I can think of.
    # You have an add-on handing that pref and that is resetting it to 4 when Firefox is restarted.
    # That pref is set via user.js and that causes it to go to that value as Firefox starts.

  • How to limit max IMAP connections in mail.app?

    Hi folks,
    due to Mailserver configuration limitations from Provider side like courier-imap settings "maxperip" = 4, some (like me) may have problems to use or connect more than one imap-account to the same server in mail.app.
    In thunderbird you have the option to configure the max open connections per imap-account. If set to 1 connection, i'm able to use 4 imap-accounts.
    But how to configure this in mail.app???
    Thanks in advance,

  • Limit number of concurrent connection

    is there a way for me to limit the number of concurrent
    connections to the media server. my upload bandwitdh is about a meg
    so having too many connections just kills the whole thing. i would
    like to put a limit at 5 connections. is there a way to do
    this?

    well i am only using flash media server to displaying videos
    and just that. the reason i went with media server vs. progressive
    was fullscreen method. since flash doesn't natively support
    fullscreen you have to open another browser in fullscreen with
    javascript. the problem with that is it start loading from
    beginning so i decided to go server that way it only has to buffer
    and get to the same point without having to load the whole video up
    to that point. Now i want to limit number people that can be
    watching the video. if i get more that 5 connection the whole thing
    slows down. i am not too familiar with server based connections so
    i don't know how to limit the number concurrent connections.

    Do you know if weblogic application server can handle 50K concurrent connection? I have to make the decision if it is possible to use weblogic application server to do. If so, how many servers do i need (just an estimation is ok).

    We are in production with a similar configuration (as of Feb 1).
    We have two outstanding issues
    1. Multicast DOES NOT WORK when dual NICs used/enabled
    2. Testing using as few as 25 users (via webload, RSW and Loadrunner) causes

  • Important 50K concurrent connection

    Do you know if weblogic application server can handle 50K concurrent connection? I have to make the decision if it is possible to use weblogic application server to do. If so, how many servers do i need (just an estimation is ok).
    Please let me know the answer

    This is very true, and often overlooked. What are you using in your
    application? I'm working on a project that is using EJBs, JSP, servlets, XML
    and XSL and very, very dynamic content.
    The xsl transforms alone were probably our biggest performance hit. We've
    since moved them to an external servlet engine (Caucho's Resin) to take some
    of the burden off of our WL servers, and performance, and especially
    scalability, have increased immensely.
    How dynamic is your application? How many queries are there going to be per
    served page? What kind of transform/building of each page is necessary?
    These are all factors that are going to impact your speed and scalability
    long before 50k users hit your site.
    Thanks,
    John Stotler

    BEA has people that can help you estimate the amount of hardware required.However, any estimate is very dependent on the application. Personally, I
    recommend that you (with or without help from BEA) do a little stress
    testing of the application to get a feel for how well it scales on a single
    JVM. Once
    you get a feel for this, it will be easier to get a more realisticestimate that we (BEA and you) can be comfortable with. If you want some
    help with this, please talk to your BEA Account Representative about this.

  • Best SQL Challenege: TSQL Query Maximum Concurrent Connections (Participants)

    Hi All,
    I have a table called dbo.PhoneCalls with below columns
    PhoneID |PhoneNumber| Callstarttime| CallEndtime|
    1 |111-111-1111|2013-04-01 05:13:03.000|2013-04-01 05:13:03.000
    1 |222-222-2222|2013-04-01 05:15:12.000|2013-04-01 05:16:52.000
    2 |333-333-3333|2013-04-01 05:17:29.000|2013-04-01 05:24:08.000
    2 |444-444-4444|2013-04-01 05:21:50.000|2013-04-01 05:22:31.000

    1. PhoneID is nothing but the participant in the call. PhoneID = 1 is twice from above. Which means 2 particpants (Same call
    )with 2 numbers with their callstarttime and callendtime. Similarly for PhoneID =2, there are 4 participants. And the list goes on for a day and then for a month.
    2. For example a phone call P1 with 2 participants is going on for a particular day. We should not consider the same phone
    call having 2 participants involved. So that the concurrency would be 2. We have to ignore that here. 
    3. Only to be considered is other Phone calls for that day. Lets say P1 having call with 2 participants, P2 having some 4 participants
    which fall in the time period of P1. Then we should consider P1 and P2 the common period
    4. In order to find number of concurrent calls happened for a day basing on callstarttime and callendtime. What would be the
    query?
    5. Should consider the Timeperiod or the bucket with 1 hour as the period.
    6. A Phone Call P1, Phone Call P2, should have matching (common) time ( keeping all the scenarios) is required for this query.
    Result for Concurrent calls for a day should be like below. Should get all the concurrent connections happened for a particular
    day.
    Date|TimePeriod/Bucket(hr part)|Concurrentconnections|
    Jan-01-2015|01 to 02|3
    Jan-01-2015|11 to 12|2
    Jan-02-2015|04 to 05|5
    Jan-02-2015|12 to 13|13
    ii) So once the above is achieved.
    Have to find the Maximum concurrent connections for day from the above.
    For below Maximum Concurrent connections are '3'
    Date|TimePeriod/Bucket(hr part)|Concurrentconnections|
    Jan-01-2015|01 to 02|3
    Jan-01-2015|11 to 12|2
    Hence the Result for Maximum Concurrent Connections would be
    Date|TimePeriod/Bucket(hr part)|MaxConcurrentconnections|
    Jan-01-2015|01 to 02|3
    Jan-02-2015|12 to 13|13

    Thanks George.
    That was fantastic.
    But 
    But I don't want  the participants to be concurrent in the same call. And should consider the different call.
    Lets say Phone Call P1 having 2 participants , obviously they are concurrent according to that call.
    Only the Phone calls with more than one participant should match with other phone call with more than one participant.
    A Phone call with any number of participants not matching with the time slot of other phone call should be ignored.
    There might be a different call say P2, having some 3 participants at the same time or atleast fall in P1's time slot.
    So
    P1 --> 2 participants ---> start hour 10:00am  ; End Hour 12:00pm
    P2 --> 3 participants ---> start hour 10:30am ; End hour 12:30 pm
    P3 --> 4 participants ----> start hour 11:00am ; End hour 11:10am
    So the concurrency should ignore for P1 and should consider for P2 and P3. From above P2 having 3 participants, P3 having 4 participants. So the common time for all P1,P2,P3 is 11:00am - 11:10am.
    Concurrency should be
    Starthour    EndHour  ConConnections
    10:00am    11:00am   (2+3+4) ---> 2 for P1, 3 for P2, 4 for P3, because at exactly 11:00am there are 4 participants. So the time bucket or the slab for 1 hour will give us that concurrency at that particular slab. Except that independent
    participants to that call.
    So Result should be
    Start Hour     End Hour            Concurrent Connections
    10:00am       11:00am                      9
    11:00am       12:00pm                      9
    12:00pm       01:00pm                      5

  • What no of concurrent connections can each server serv?

    Ok we're a startup and currently thinking about whether to use flash media streaming server or red5, or progressive streaming with lighttpd.
    In order to make a decision I would like to know how many concurrent streams can flash media server server stream until one has to purchase another license. Do any of you guys have some numbers.
    We will be streaming mp3 at low bit rates, service will be hosted within AWS EC2 (with whatever instances are available there). So if you can post some performance specs that would be great....
    Oddly enough Adobe Sales does not even know the answer... I have heard rumors that high number of concurrent connections is not a really a feature that this product is developed towards.
    Thanks for you answers.

    I'd do some more research before commiting to EC2/S3 at all. I'd also confirm that comment about Wowza streaming from S3... I've never worked with it, but if you're streaming, chances are S3 is just storage, and you're actually streaming from EC2 (I don't think you can run an application on S3... but maybe I'm wrong there)
    The trouble is, regardless of the software, you're still in competition for bandwidth. There's only so much capacity at the network interface of each shared server, and if you happen to land on a busy server, you may find there isn't enough to go around. For stateless applications like HTTP request/response, that's fine, but for apps that require statefull client/server connections, bandwidth and latency issues can prove catastrophic.
    The biggest problem I have with running a streaming server on EC2 (virtualization issues aside), is that they won't disclose hardware or network specs. So, while you can be sure you'll have the memory and processor allocation, it's a crapshoot when it comes to disk time and bandwidth, as you have no real idea how many other instances you're sharing a server with, or what those other instances are doing in terms of bandwidth and disk usage.
    While I don't know any of the specs on the cloudfront service, I suspect those servers are load balanced in such a way that bandwidth is accounted for. In the general population EC2 servers, that's not the case.
    My advice... really research this before you make your deployment decisions. I've come to find that while scaling out is a bit more challenging, dedicated hardware and bandwidth isn't all that much more expensive than EC2, and when you go dedicated, you can actually count on your resources being available to you.

  • Maximum number of concurrent connections using java sockets

    How can we find out the maximum number of concurrent connections that can be handled by a pooled connection server?
    I have a pooled server which creates a predefined number of handlers. Upon receiving a new request it accepts the connection and sends it to one of the handler.
    The solution works well for low number of concurrent connections - < 50 or 100
    But as the number increases there seems to be an issue
    1. Ignoring request even if i increase the handlers
    2. Increase in delay. [I feel that the listening thread is not getting the time slice to go read the socket for new requests]
    Any idea as to how i can solve this?
    Would an NIO socket help [am using the conventional java.io Serversocket, because my clients may not be non-blocking]??
    Any help would be appreciated.

    There is no set maximum, but it is in the thousands on most platforms. I have a production server that handles tens of thousands of connections simultaneously. Most likely you have a bug in your code.

  • How do I change concurrently connected users?

    One of the first questions dbassist asks for a custom, hybrid database (others too?) is the number of concurrently connected users.
    Question: How is that number used?

    Thanks,

    I don't think that the information is used directly. I suspect it's used to calculate a reasonable size for the SGA, etc.
    This means that you can't directly change it, but by tweaking the settings in init.ora you can get the same effect.
