Max Half open
TCP Connection

Sets the percentage of concurrent IP sessions
that can be in the half-open state. In ordinary
TCP communication, packets are in the half-
open state only briefly as a connection is being
initiated; the state changes to active when
packets are being exchanged, or closed when
the exchange is complete. TCP connections in
the half-open state can use up the available IP
sessions.
If the percentage is exceeded, then the half-
open sessions will be closed and replaced with
new sessions as they are initiated.

Max ICMP
Connection

Sets the percentage of concurrent IP sessions
that can be used for ICMP messages.
If the percentage is exceeded, then older ICMP
IP sessions will be replaced by new sessions as
the are initiated.

Max Single Host
Connection

Sets the percentage of concurrent IP session
that can originate from a single computer. This
percentage should take into account the
number of hosts on the LAN.
