Difference Max firewall connections and Max firewall connections/second

[fareed_farooqui]

Hi

Could someone please explain me the differece between Maximum firewall connections and Maximum firewall connections/second

For eg. 5520 can have 280,000 max fw connections and 12,000 max fw connections/second

How is this calculated, what is the difference between them and any assumptions?

Max FW connection is Total number of concurrent connections FW can supported.

Maximum FW connection/second is the number of new connections which can be setup by FW per sec.
