About real server maximum connections

You can configure each real server for the number of open connections it can handle for SLB.

Actual connection values average from approximately 500 HTTP connections for slower servers to 1500 for quicker, multiprocessor servers. The number also depends on the duration of each session and how much CPU capacity is occupied in processing each session. Connections that use a lot of Java or CGI scripts for forms or searches require more server resources and have a lower maximum connections limit. You may wish to use a performance benchmark tool to determine how many connections your real servers can handle.

When a server reaches its maximum connections limit, the WSM no longer sends new connections to the server. When the server drops back below the maximum connections limit, new sessions are again allowed.
