Re: ZyWall 5 V4.00 (XD.2) released

I'm wondering IF I can bump up the NAT session back to 6000 since I'm never going to use a turbo card but I do look forward to the next version firmware so I can assign 1 port to WLAN, without having a WLAN PC card installed.
Is the NAT sessions a hard coded part of the firmware or could it be changed in autoexec.net file??

No, you won't be able to change it. It's set to 4000 sessions for ZyWall5 since ZyNOS4.00.

No differing opinions. My understanding is that # sessions is hard coded (compiled) into current 4.00 firmware.

Yes, Brano's post was in agreement with my earlier post.

Well you can change it, up to the MAX allowed. Which on the Z5 is now 4000. It uses to be 6000. No real biggy being at 4000 for normal use. 4000 should handle many users with normal browsing and a couple of users with heavy P2P use.

ah, ok. so for single home use, probably plenty.

just wondering, is there a way to get current sessions on an old rt314?

Well even for a business with ?# users, maybe 40-60+. Normal web browsing doesn't use up a lot of NAT session. It's when you have 2-3-4-5-6 people using a P2P app that eat away at them.

i guess my only hesitation is that whoever decided on nat sessions for the 551 thought that 16000 was appropriate...

?

Re: ZyWall 5 V4.00 (XD.2) released

I don't know about anyone else but the most Nat sessions I ever used was with 2 P2P apps running, Limewire and WinMX, doing multiple searches on both and multiple downloads on both I got to something like 3700. Not sure if you could ever get to 16000 on a home connection anytime in the near future. Ok Yes you could have the fastest connection on the planet for home use but just how many people will have that type of connection. And with the way things are going P2P could be dead anytime in the near future.

i doubt that very much (the last).

how do limewire and winmx stack up against 3 or 4 large torrents all going at the same time?

actually, can i just get an idea of sessions open by running netstat -an on a win machine? or maybe tcpview? or are there usually a bunch of orphaned nat sessions left in the table of the router for a long time?

edit->well, after running the command "ip nat iface enif1 st" on my old rt314, i see that its table size is 256... and doesn't that correspond to the number of nat sessions?

maybe i'm worrying about nothing important.

1 edit		 The X-550 is a gaming oriented home router with the addition of MIMO, comparing to SMB is really not that useful.

Concur, WAN to WLAN should be drop by default!!

Please use the z70 demo link to view the firewall defaults page..........
