Well, kind of.  It's a systemwide limit on the maximum number of
connections that a given socket can accept.

 but does
 firewall connections are considered incoming?

I just wanted to know..Actually i have a very loaded firewall(PF) with a
lot of states and i was wondering if this can help..
But if it is for sockets(something i have missed) then i will not help..


What can this variable help(mysql socket?)?
