Description: other connections passing through the FireWall-1 Module
What is fwConnectionsStatConnectionsOther?
The desc explicitly states this is the number of 'other' connections (non-TCP/UDP/ICMP protocols) passing through the FireWall-1 Module right now. A nonzero, growing value here usually corresponds to tunneling protocols such as GRE or ESP for IPsec traversing the gateway, so check this counter before assuming those flows aren't being tracked by the firewall's connection table. e.g. 300 'other' connections consistent with a handful of active site-to-site GRE or IPsec tunnels.
