The router acts as a transparent TCP proxy between the real server, and the client. When a connection request is made, the router completes the handshake for the server, and opens the real connection only after the handshake is completed. The router also places a threshold on the amount of connection requests it handles. If the amount of half-open connections exceeded the threshold it lowers the timeout period interval, thus dropping the half-open connections faster.
