Leif Hedstrom commented on TS-566:
----------------------------------

As discussed, we'll rename this setting to be more generic:

CONFIG proxy.config.net.defer_accept INT <value>

where <value> is 0 - ...  for Linux, and 0-1 on FreeBSD (assuming someone 
implements it).

I will set the default for to 45 on linux, and 0 for everything else. For an 
explanation why 45 is a reasonable default, see  
http://www.ogre.com/content/tcp-socket-options

Further explanation: Apache HTTPD v2.3 sets this to "30", but that really 
translates to 45 on modern linux platforms, and 48 on older platforms, so 45 
seems like a more reasonable default that's more close to the truth.

> Two proposals:
> 1) We rename the existing config from 
> proxy.config.net.tcp_accept_defer_timeout  to proxy.config.net.defer_accept . 
> On Linux, this option is a timeout value (as used with the TCP_DEFER_ACCEPT 
> sysctl), and on other platforms (e.g. on FreeBSD), it would be a flag to 
> enable / disable deferred accepts / accept filters.
> 2) We change the default of this setting to 45 on Linux. This would be 
> functionally identical to the HTTPD v2.3.x setting of 30, but 45 makes 
> somewhat more sense since it's close (or identical) to what the effective 
> timeout will be (it's quantized  based on how many retransmits TCP will do). 
> On other platforms. we'll leave this value at "1" in the default (generated) 
> records.config.
> Comments welcome!
