Limit external connections for publish rule

Limit connections - publish rule

 

Hi. I am using a Sophos XG appliance for controlling our internal traffic (between workstation networks and servers network) as well to publish some internal services (web applications mostly) for external users.

Now I need to publish a file for external users to download. The number of concurrent users may reach 200k and I am worried that Sophos would eventually be so busy with these connections that all my internal traffic would be affected.

The first question is: what happens to internal traffic if external traffic is to much for Sophos to handle?

The second is: Is there a way to limit the external connections in a way that Sophos drops them and my internal traffic remains ok?

    200K simultaneous downloads or 200K downloads total over some time frame?

    Cheers - Bob
