To control the number of remote sites that can access a server simultaneously, use number of remote sites. All accesses from an individual site are managed by one site handler. This parameter controls the number of site handlers, not the number of individual, simultaneous procedure calls. For example, if you set number of remote sites to 5, and each site initiates three remote procedure calls, sp_who shows 5 site handler processes for the 15 processes. Only a System Administrator can set the number of remote sites.
