outstanding-packets
outstanding-packets
Used in: flow-control.
Description
Defines the number of unconfirmed packets that will be sent to a cluster node before packets addressed to that node will be deferred. This helps to prevent the sender from flooding the recipient's network buffers.
Auto Tunning
The value may be specified as either an explicit number via the maximum-packets element, or as a range by using both the maximum-packets and minimum-packets elements. When a range is specified, this setting will be dynamically adjusted based on network statistics.
Elements
The following table describes the elements you can define within the outstanding-packets element.
