9.2 Session control
Session management controls the acceptable maximum simultaneous sessions of Intranet PCs.
This function is very useful for managing connection quantity when P2P software such as BT, Thunder,
or emule is used in the Intranet causing large numbers of sessions. Setting up proper limitations on
sessions can effectively control the sessions created by P2P software. It will also have a limiting effect
on bandwidth usage.
In addition, if any Intranet PC is attacked by a virus like Worm.Blaster and sends a huge number of
session requests, session control will restrict that as well.

Disable Session Control function.
This option enables the restriction of maximum external sessions to each
Intranet PC. When the number of external sessions reaches the limit, to
allow new sessions to be built, some of the existing sessions must be
closed. For example, when BT or P2P is being used to download
information and the sessions exceed the limit, the user will be unable to
connect with other services until either BT or P2P is closed.
