        It's how many connections per client are allowed to make for the in the rule specified traffic. For example if you want to throttle down smtp worms you could say only allow 2 smtp connections per client at the same time.

          well i set 15-15-15-300 on my rule that allows all internet traffic (only 1 rule that allows internet traffic)

          and i applied settings cleared states and even rebooted box and i can still get 20 connections in my download manager

          does this feature even work or am i missing something?

                This was fixed in the new beta series.  Update to the recent snapshot.

                    Open up /tmp/rules.debug and find the rule in question and show us what it looks like.

                      pass in quick on $lan  route-to { ( rl2 firstfailoverip ) } from any to any keep state ( max-src-nodes 5 max-src-states 5 tcp.established 60 max-src-conn-rate 5 /1, overload <virusprot>flush global  )  label "USER_RULE: adsl fail airband"

                      obviously replace firstfailoverip for my gateways ip address

                      and with this rule being the only pass i can get 20 connections in my download manager

                      thanks</virusprot>
