Prestige 792H G.SHDSL Router 
Firewall Configuration 
 
9-7 
Table 9-2 Alert 
LABEL DESCRIPTION 
One Minute High   This is the rate of new half-open sessions that causes the firewall to start deleting 
half-open sessions. The default is "100". When the rate of new connection attempts 
rises above this number, the Prestige deletes half-open sessions as required to 
accommodate new connection attempts. The Prestige stops deleting half-open 
sessions when the number is less than the One Minute Low. 
Maximum 
Incomplete Low  
This is the number of existing half-open sessions (default "80") that causes the 
firewall to stop deleting half-open sessions.  
The Prestige continues to delete half-open requests as necessary, until the number 
of existing half-open sessions drops below this number. 
Maximum 
Incomplete High  
This is the number of existing half-open sessions (default "100") that causes the 
firewall to start deleting half-open sessions. When the number of existing half-open 
sessions rises above this number, the Prestige deletes half-open sessions as 
required to accommodate new connection requests. The Prestige stops deleting half-
open sessions when the number is less than the Max Incomplete Low
Do not set Maximum Incomplete High to lower than the current Max Incomplete 
Low
 number. 
TCP Maximum 
Incomplete  
This is the number of existing half-open TCP sessions (default "10") with the same 
destination host IP address that causes the firewall to start dropping half-open 
sessions to that same destination host IP address. Enter a number between 1 and 
256
As a general rule, you should choose a smaller number for a smaller network, a 
slower system or limited bandwidth. 
Blocking Time   When TCP Maximum Incomplete is reached you can choose if the next session 
should be allowed or blocked. If you select Blocking Time, any new sessions will be 
blocked for the length of time you specify in the next field (min) and all old 
incomplete sessions will be cleared during this period.  
If you want strong security, it is better to block the traffic for a short time, as it will give 
the server some time to digest the loading. 
(min)   Type the length of Blocking Time in minutes (1-256). The default is "0".
