+.B unlimited
+.OD
+Controls the number of connections that
+.B fw
+accepts at a time on a particular socket.  This parameter affects how
+.B fw
+prioritizes between keeping up with connection turnover and processing
+existing connections.  The default is 1, which strongly favours existing
+connections.  The special value
+.B unlimited
+(or
+.BR infinite )
+removes any limit, and therefore favours connection turnover.
