=====Limiting number of connections=====

If your users are generating excess traffic (for instance - a quantity of torrent sessions), you can create a "Limit number of connections" rule. To achieve this select "Add -> Limit number of connections" in the user or group setting.

Also, you can specify a direction of the rule, protocol, port source and working time limits.

Rule application could be interpreted by 3 types:


^type^action^
|for each profile|The rule is applied to whole object meaning that summary of all download traffic of all users within the group could not exceed defined one in the rule|
|for each user|Applied to group. Using this limiting type each user of the group is bound by traffic limitation equal to defined one in the rule|
|for each IP address|Applied to group or user. Using this type each host in the Local Area Network with IP address (set to user in a group) is bound speed limit equal to denied in the rule.|

In order to completely bound user speed including to ICS itself, you can select appropriate option check-box.
