Hi All,

In the Passthrough HTTP transport[1] there is a configuration parameter
called *'max_open_connections'* to control the maximum number of
connections getting established with the client.

Currently we are shipping the product without specifying a default value
for that, that means we are allowing any number of connections.
Allowing limitless connection establishment with the client may lead to a
catastrophic incident if it gets a sudden burst of requests.

So shall we ship the product with a sensible default value ?
We need to decide on a suitable default value and we need to document the
importance of configuring a proper value for this.

Thanks.
