    Session type Reconnection interval NumberNo. of reconnection attempts
    Ordinary VPN sessions initiated by VPN Client Min. 5 seconds (default is 15 seconds) 0 - unlimited (default is unlimited)
    Cascade connection VPN sessions initiated by VPN Server / VPN Bridge 10 seconds (fixed) Unlimited (fixed)
     

    ...

    If the number of TCP/IP connections is simply increased, rather than enhancing throughput of VPN communications, if the bandwidth of the communication route with the VPN Server on the IP network is large, it appears that increasing the number of connections often enhances throughput or stabilizes communication. Oppositely, in the case of low speed lines like ISDN or PHS where bandwidth is just server tens or hundreds of kbps, because the band is consumed by Keep-Alive messages and control data of various TCP/IP connections, fewer connections often improved stability and enhances communications speed.

    The number of optimal TCP/IP connections furthermore varies according to the amount of data and type of communications protocol used within the VPN session. After actually constructing VPN, we recommend you select the proper setting while using the communication throughput measurement tool. For details on the communication throughput measurement tool, see #4.8Measuring Effective Throughput#..
