About the Connection Pooling report
The Connection Pooling report summarizes the current pool of connections to peer appliances.
The Connection Pooling report contains these statistics that summarize connection pooling activity:
Total Requests
Displays the total number of requests for connections to peer appliances.
Total Hits
Displays the total number of successful connections and connections that are serviced by already existing inner channel connections.
Connection Pool hits (Connections)
Displays the total number of successful connections and connections that are serviced by already existing inner channel connections.
The connection pool holds many idle TCP connections up to the maximum pool size. When a client requests a new connection to a previously visited server, the pool manager checks the pool for unused connections, returns one if available, and then replenishes the pool with another idle connection.
The Connection Pooling report answers these questions:
• How large is the pool of connections?
• How many connections occurred?

The Riverbed system reports on performance for periods up to one month. Due to performance and disk space considerations, the display granularity decreases with time passed since the data was sampled.
