Every RNE behind a Ciena GNE opens its own TL1 session to that gateway, so a nightly run over a gateway fronting a hundred RNEs attempts a hundred logins as fast as the queue can issue them. A node that refuses connections past its own cap fails whichever collections lose that race.

rConfig now caps concurrent sessions per gateway, configured with connect.tl1MaxConnections on the GNE's template and defaulting to 20. Both Ciena templates carry it, and the key is documented in the legend with its clamping behaviour: values outside 1 to 500 are clamped and anything non-numeric falls back to the default, so a typo cannot stop a gateway collecting.

The validator's allowlist gains the key too, otherwise these templates would fail their own CI. Key counts in README, CONTRIBUTING, EDITIONS and the legend move from 46 to 47, and the Pro-only count from 13 to 14. The CHANGELOG's count is left alone, being a record of a past release.

Ciena had no vendor README while most other vendors do. Added one covering what makes TL1 different from a CLI, the GNE/RNE and dual-homing model, and how to choose a connection limit.
