amount for your model
minus the sum of the
sessions assigned to all
contexts for vpn other.
The number of site-to-site VPN sessions
allowed beyond the amount assigned to a
context with vpn other. For example, if your
model supports 5000 sessions, and you assign
4000 sessions across all contexts with vpn
other, then the remaining 1000 sessions are
available for vpn burst other. Unlike vpn
other, which guarantees the sessions to the
context, vpn burst other can be
oversubscribed; the burst pool is available to
all contexts on a first-come, first-served basis.
