A connection does not equate to a single user. Actually, a single user can spawn many connections depending on the application he/she is using to cross the firewall. I have seen Internet Explorer spawn 5 or 6 connections to the Internet for example. Definitely keep this in mind when ordering your PIX!

Subject: PIX Firewall user connections
Hi colleagues,
I have a question regarding the PIX Firewall: when they mention the number
of user connections, what does that actually mean ? Does e.g. the 520 model
allow 250,000+ user to be connected simultaneously ?
Also, the new 506 PIX model does not specify the number of user connections
allowed, does this mean that there is no limit ?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Georg Pauwen
