## Symptoms

- The value of peak connections is higher than the concurrent connections limit.   

Example: The output of '*fw tab -t connections -s* ' shows a peak value of 764377:

```

HOST                  NAME                                ID  #VALS  #PEAK  #SLINKS
localhost             connections                       8158 221154 764377   656214
```

While the output of '*fw ctl pstat* ' shows that the limit of concurrent connections is 600,000:

```
