2.1.2.4 Backlog Control

Property: max_backlog

The default backlog socket listen value is 20. On some systems, such as Windows, 20 may not meet heavy load requirements. The client connection is rejected during TCP handshake.

The recommended value for Windows is based on the max concurrent TCP connections you may encounter. For example, if 80 is the peak point, you may configure the max_backlog property value to 60 in the SALT configuration file.

Note:

The default backlog value is adequate for most systems. You do not need to tune it unless you experience client connection problems during heavy loads.

WARNING:

A large backlog value may increase syn-blood attack risk.
