Hi,

This indicates Wowza could not identify the connection, so although a connection to a port was made, no further negotiation took place for RTSP, HTTP or RTMP. After a period of time Wowza times out the unidentified conections with this warning. It can happen more often when there is a network issue/limitation, hence seeing dropped connections stopping you getting above 161.

Regards,

Jason
