A session is determined by calculating the time between one request from a remotehost and the next request by the exact same remotehost.

If the time between one request and the next is less than the limit, the request is part of the same session. The time (or timeout) limit can be any length. If the limit is 30 minutes, and a remotehost makes a request at 1:00 p.m., and the next request from that remotehost comes at 3:45 p.m., the requests would be counted as two separate sessions.
