Viewing Current
Connections The Network - Current Connections report displays the connections that are
intercepted through the HP EFS WAN Accelerator, including the connections that are
passed through unoptimized.
The Network - Current Connections report contains the following Current Connections
table of statistics that summarize current connections.
The Network - Current Connections report also contains the following Discarded/
Denied Connections table of statistics that summarize discarded or denied
connections.
NOTE: If the connection is in an unknown state, the line is greyed-out.
Packet Type Description
Established Specifies the total established active connections.
Half Opened Specifies the total half-opened active connections. A half-
opened connection is a TCP connection in which the
connection has not been fully established. Half-opened
connections count toward the connection count limit on the
HP EFS WAN Accelerator because at any time they might
become a fully opened connection.
If you are experiencing a large number of half-opened
connections, you might consider a more appropriately sized
HP EFS WAN Accelerator.
Half Closed Specifies the total half-closed active connections. Half-
closed connections are connections which the HP EFS WAN
Accelerator has intercepted and optimized but are in the
process of becoming inactive. These connections are
counted toward the connection count limit on the HP EFS
WAN Accelerator. (Half closed connections might remain if
the client or server does not close their connections cleanly.)
If you are experiencing a large number of half-closed
connections, you might consider a more appropriately sized
HP EFS WAN Accelerator.
Pass-Through Specifies the total connections passed through, unoptimized
when the connection limit has been reached.
Forwarded Specifies the total number of connections that were
forwarded when you have configured a connection
forwarding neighbor to manage the connection.
Packet Type Description
Discarded Specifies the total number of discarded connections.
Discarded packets for the connection that match the Discard
rule are dropped silently.
Denied Specifies the total number of denied connections. (When
packets for connections match a Deny rule, the appliance
actively tries to reset the connection.)
