Thanks @alex.ott ,

I am asking in general way though I am using DSE 6 for testing purpose.

By default, driver opens one connection per cluster host + one control connection that is used for receiving updates about cluster's state. You can increase number of connections per host by tuning the driver, for example, here is the doc for Java driver 3.x on that topic.

You can get a number of client connections for given Cassandra/DSE nodes by using JMX, or adding the "Native Clients" graph in OpsCenter.

In Cassandra & DSE you can limit the number of concurrent client connections with native_transport_max_concurrent_connections & native_transport_max_concurrent_connections_per_ip settings that are by default are set to -1 (unlimited).

@satvantsingh_190085 In addition to alex.ott's answer, we don't recommend that you change the default configuration for client connections either for the driver or on the cluster nodes.

This isn't really relevant particularly for someone really new to Cassandra. Changing defaults while you're still learning will cause you more problems down the track. It is unnecessary unless you're addressing specific issues. Cheers!
