Click Configuration > Firewall > Session Limit to display the Firewall
Session Limit screen. Use this screen to limit the number of concurrent NAT/
firewall sessions a client can use. You can apply a default limit for all users and
individual limits for specific users, addresses, or both. The individual limit takes
priority if you apply both.

Select this check box to control the number of concurrent sessions hosts
can have.
Default Session
per Host
Use this field to set a common limit to the number of concurrent NAT/
firewall sessions each client computer can have.
If only a few clients use peer to peer applications, you can raise this
number to improve their performance. With heavy peer to peer
application use, lower this number to ensure no single client uses too
many of the available NAT sessions.
Create rules below to apply other limits for specific users or addresses.
