I recently had this discussion with Legato licensing. From what I recall,
the # of connections is in reference to the # of clients' savesets that can
be simultaneously sent across the wire at once. For example, if you have
20 clients, each with four savesets (i.e. C:\, D:\, plus a couple of the
Windows-proprietary savesets like SYSTEM_DB:\ or whatever it's called) and
you have them all in a group together, that would count as 80 connections.
Now, if your group parallelism is set to 0, the server parallelism (in your
case, 64) would reign supreme and would allows 64 of those 80 savesets to
come across.
Obviously some of those savesets will complete pretty fast, opening up a
'connection' for another saveset.

The basics:
Networker 7.1.3 Network Edition
Solaris 9
3 SAN Storage Nodes
Clients are a mix of Solaris, Lin-tel, and Win-tel
Network edition is limited to 64 simultaneous connections across all
storage nodes. I'd like to know what's considered a connection. Let's
say I'm backing up only one client. This client has multiple streams
coming from it (i.e. /opt, /usr, /var or C:, D:, E:). Does this count as
a single connection (just the client) or multiple connections (3 total,
one for each stream)?
We are adding some d2d backup devices and will be able to increae the
number of concurrent backups that we run. I'd like to make sure that we
either don't hit the connection barrier or we plan for Enterprise edition.
(BTW: I can't search the archives at teaparty.mathworks.com for this
answer. My company and Mathworks are like the Hatfields and McCoys. As a
result, Mathworks blocks all traffic from our ip range to anything they
host. I appreciate them hosting the archives for everyone else, but does
anyone know of another searchable archive for this list?)
