Udo, you’re correct that individual servers can set the property independently. I was assuming this is more like the ’security-manager` property and others that require all cluster members to be in agreement.
I’m not sure I understand the use case to allow this setting to be per-member. That makes it pretty challenging to reason about what is happening in a cluster when doing root cause analysis. There is even an API to change this value dynamically: https://geode.apache.org/docs/guide/12/managing/monitor_tune/performance_controls_controlling_socket_use.html …but I’ve only seen that used to make function threads/sockets follow the correct setting.

This setting should not have an effect on the cluster (other than potentially positive). Also, if the Geode were to enforce this setting across the cluster, then we have seriously broken our “shared nothing value” here..
