1.6 Configuring Connection and Session Limits

The Access Gateway establishes connections with clients and with Web servers. For most networks,
the default values for unresponsive connections and sessions provide adequate performance, but you
can fine-tune the options for your network, its performance requirements, and your users:
Section 1.6.1, "Configuring TCP Listen Options for Clients," on page 69
Section 1.6.2, "Configuring TCP Connect Options for Web Servers," on page 70
Section 1.6.3, "Configuring Connection and Session Persistence," on page 72
