Gateways are going down - Limit outgoing connections?

[Mayo132]

Hello everybody,

is there a possibility to limit the outgoing connection by the firewall?

I ask, because of using a dual wan connection with hardware, provided by my ISP. If there are to many "connections" pushing through the gateway i can see increasing the CPU load to 100% and the gateway went down.

So I would like trying to limit this connections to a maximum number.

Maybe someone knows a solution?

Thanks a lot.
