LogSendPerSecLimit
This setting limits how many log packets NetDefendOS may send out per second. This value should
never be set too low, as this may result in important events not being logged, nor should it be set too
high. One situation where setting too high a value may cause damage is when NetDefendOS sends a
log message to a server whose log receiver is not active. The server will send back an ICMP UN-
REACHABLE message, which may cause NetDefendOS to send another log message, which in turn
will result in another ICMP UNREACHABLE message, and so on. By limiting the number of log
messages NetDefendOS sends every second, you avoid encountering such devastating bandwidth
consuming scenarios.
Default: 3600 seconds, once an hour
