concurrent TCP sessions

[alcol]

Hi, if possible, I would like to have a sugestion from you.

On a Linux Machine the application FireFox open more concurrent TCP sessions then a Windows machine with firefox.

Inside the company run a Proxy that limit per each user the numer of concurrent TCP sessions over Internet.
As we know per RFC is permitted only 2 concurrent TCP sessions against the same host.

For Internet Explorer exist Registry keys to control that:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000002
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:00000002


Is there the same for FireFox as under Windows as under Linux?.

In your about:config, look for the values of these three keys: network.http.max-connections-per-server, network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy, and network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server.

[alcol]

network.http.max-connections-per-server 15
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy 8
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server 6

as in Windows installation as in linux installation.

you're the chief of network and security but you can't spell security correctly?

Alcol: the TCP stack of Windows is perhaps following the registry entries, as it is provided by Windows. On Linux, if they are no such limitation at the TCP layer, they are not applied and you have to apply them at the application layer. Did you try to change the settings I indicated to you?
