Hi Christopher, Here are responses to your questions:
No thread dump were made during when the issue occured unfortunetly. We use an Nio connector: <Connector port="8080" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol" selectorTimeout="1000" maxThreads="200" maxHttpHeaderSize="16384" address="127.0.0.1" redirectPort="8443"/> According to the catalina log the Broken pipes happend when trying to write the response : java.io.IOException: Broken pipe at sun.nio.ch.FileDispatcherImpl.write0(Native Method) at sun.nio.ch.SocketDispatcher.write(SocketDispatcher.java:47) at sun.nio.ch.IOUtil.writeFromNativeBuffer(IOUtil.java:93) at sun.nio.ch.IOUtil.write(IOUtil.java:65) at sun.nio.ch.SocketChannelImpl.write(SocketChannelImpl.java:487) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.NioChannel.write(NioChannel.java:128) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.NioBlockingSelector.write(NioBlockingSelector.java:101) at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.NioSelectorPool.write(NioSelectorPool.java:174) at org.apache.coyote.http11.InternalNioOutputBuffer.writeToSocket(InternalNioOutputBuffer.java:163) at org.apache.coyote.http11.InternalNioOutputBuffer.flushBuffer(InternalNioOutputBuffer.java:242) at org.apache.coyote.http11.InternalNioOutputBuffer.endRequest(InternalNioOutputBuffer.java:121) at org.apache.coyote.http11.AbstractHttp11Processor.action(AbstractHttp11Processor.java:761) at org.apache.coyote.Response.action(Response.java:174) at org.apache.coyote.Response.finish(Response.java:274) at org.apache.catalina.connector.OutputBuffer.close(OutputBuffer.java:319) at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteWriter.close(CoyoteWriter.java:112) at networkComm.commands.HttpCommand.sendResponse(HttpCommand.java:224) We do handle requests from mobile devices but this is not the biggest part of the traffic, I don't have information on how many request it could represent for the test we made.
