Correct - the limit is a global one. Moving to the bigger Foundry boxes
based on WSM6-2, WSM6 and WSM7 blades you are going to have limits per
processor (5 million per processor) but not per port.<br><br>

whether you use all the ports, or a single physical interface.<br>

<dd>Hi, Thanks for the datasheet, but whatever concurrent L4
sessions<br>
<dd>mentioned in the datasheet it seems like it is total max
session/sec<br>
<dd>capacity of whole box? Is there any per/port max session limit?
like<br>
<dd>Alteon has only max session of 21404/interface.<br><br>
<dd>in->100k-sessions-->Port1(L4 switch) Port3
