 Re: Connections tables reaching limits and connections are being dropped?
Information from Help. I think this information is correct.
"When a new Policy is installed, existing connections are marked as "old". When a new packet that belongs to an "old" connection is encountered, it is matched against the Policy. If the Policy match result is Accept, the entry will revert back to a normal state and the connection will continue uninterrupted. If the result is Drop or Reject then the packet is dropped and the connection entry is deleted from the table.
Keep all connections - Keep all control and data connections open until the connections have ended. The newly installed Policy will be enforced only for new connections.
Keep Data Connections - Keep all data connections open until the connections have ended. Control connections that are not allowed under the new Policy will be terminated.
Rematch Connections - All connections not allowed under the new Policy will be terminated, unless the Keep connections open after policy has been installed is enabled in the service's Properties window."  |
