Well, yeah, 20 connections. If they were shorter duration, I'd allow more. Most software is polite enough to recognize the limitations and adapt.
I've never set mine higher than 20 globally, and adjust by peer if they ask me. What is the maximum thread count you've ever seen on a web page opening? If I can make web pages load real fast, and let grandma upload her pictures to the grandkids and get her email, I've made 90% of my customers extremely happy. The other 10% will have to adapt or live with it. I guess by nature of being rural broadband and wireless, I've engineered for the bursty activity to rule.

I've found 75 to be a good number (Butch put that in place ages ago and I've been the only person in 3 years to get up to that). I'm looking at an SM now from a customer that called in this morning...they're using 43 connections. It's one (wireless) laptop on a Linksys into the SM. Each connection is port 80 or 443 except one - 4500 (Cisco VP?)
