Disclosed is a computer implemented method and apparatus for handling transport control protocol connections. The local host receives a transport control protocol socket connection request from a host. By subtracting a current port connection from maximum port connections to form a difference, the local host calculates the threshold based the difference divided by the tunable divisor, the tunable divisor not equal to one. The local host then determines whether the current port connections exceeds the threshold. By responding to a determination that the current port connections exceed the threshold, the local host blocks the transport control protocol socket request based on the TCP socket connection request.
