Example: Controlling Session Termination for SRX Series Services Gateways (CLI)

JUNOS Software terminates sessions normally in certain situations—for example, after receiving a TCP FINish Close or receiving a RST (reset) message, when encountering Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) errors for User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and when no matching traffic is received before the service timeout. When sessions are terminated, their resources are freed up for use for other sessions.

To control when sessions are terminated, you configure the device to age out sessions after a certain period of time, when the number of sessions in the session table reaches a specified percentage, or both.
