--------------------------------
Summary: Reevaluate default proxy.config.net.listen_backlog
Key: TS-2524
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-2524
Project: Traffic Server
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Network
Reporter: David Carlin
Leif mentioned in TS-2395 that he was having some problems related to
proxy.config.net.listen_backlog.
According to this article:
http://blog.dubbelboer.com/2012/04/09/syn-cookies.html
the kernel takes the backlog value, adds 1 and rounds up to the nearest power
of 2. It sets max queue length to the log2 value of this number.
This is why backlog of 511 results in max queue length of 9 (what you want)
where as setting backlog to 512 expecting a max queue length of 9 you end up
with 10.
The above article mentions that nginx and apache set a default backlog of 511.
We have a systemtap script that shows current queue length and max queue
length, I never see a max queue length greater than 15 (32768 connections) even
when I set proxy.config.net.listen_backlog to 2^16 or 2^16 -1 so not sure why
2^16-1 made a difference for you. Isn't this value in records config of type
INT (signed) so it can't be more than 2^15 anyways?
