We're going to be moving from an old Netscreen 10 to a nice new Netscreen 5 extended edition. Our current Netscreen 10 is running out of sessions and then dropping connections. It's session limit is listed as 4096 though 3700 something appears to be it's real limit.
We have less than 200 folks on at a time, so I'm curious what the Netscreen calls a "session". Even with a two minute session timeout, we're still running out of sessions.
Are we going to be any better off with the Netscreen 5? It supposedly tops out at 4096 sessions also.
Yes, I've looked for computers opening too many sessions like it is spamming but didn't find anything. It just seems like a client doesn't reuse the same session but instead is given a new one.
Thanks.
