Max NAT/
Firewall
Session Per
User
When computers use peer to peer applications, such as file sharing applications, they
need to establish NAT sessions. If you do not limit the number of NAT sessions a single
client can establish, this can result in all of the available NAT sessions being used. In
this case, no additional NAT sessions can be established, and users may not be able to
access the Internet.
Each NAT session establishes a corresponding firewall session. Use this field to limit
the number of NAT/firewall sessions each client computer can establish through the
ZyXEL Device.
If your network has a small number of clients using peer to peer applications, you can
raise this number to ensure that their performance is not degraded by the number of
NAT sessions they can establish. If your network has a large number of users using
peer to peer applications, you can lower this number to ensure no single client is using
all of the available NAT sessions.
