That would be a false assumption, since ISA 2000 never had connection limits. ISA 2004 connection limits were a bit aggressive and these were relaxed a bit in ISA 2006 and TMG. Relax these settings by degrees until you get useful throughput, but you feel you can still detect abusive users. Each deployment is unique, so absolute numbers are not very useful.

I changed it to 160, but could or should it be higher? Only reason I discovered this was because HTTPS browsing was slower than a stampede of turtles through peanut butter.
