Description

Determines how many connections the server can maintain in the half-open (SYN-RCVD) state even after a connection request has been retransmitted. If the number of exceeds the value of this entry, TCP/IP initiates SYN flooding attack protection. This entry is used only when SYN flooding attack protection is enabled on this server (that is, the value of SynAttackProtect is 1 and the value of TcpMaxConnectResponseRetransmissions is at least 2).

This entry establishes one of three configurable thresholds which, when exceeded, trigger TCP's SYN attack flooding protection feature. Because SYN flooding often results in many half-open connections, TCP interprets an elevated number of half-open connections to be a symptom of SYN flooding.

The other thresholds are:

The value of this entry should be less than the value of TCPMaxHalfOpen.

Windows 2000 does not add this entry to the registry. You can add it by editing the registry or by using a program that edits the registry.
