Inetd Backlog Queue Size

This networking enhancement is new in the Developer 1/08 release.

Starting with this release, a tunable to set the backlog queue size of the inetd managed services is introduced. This feature adds an SMF property to inetd called connection_backlog using which the queue size can be modified. The default value of the connection_backlog queue size is 10. You can modify the connection_backlog property by using the inetadm command. For example:

• To list the properties:

  #inetadm -l <fmri/pattern>

• To change the value for a specific service:

  #inetadm -m <fmri/pattern> conection_backlog=<new value>

• To change the value globally:

  #inetadm -M connection_backlog=<newvalue>

For more information, see the inetadm(1M) man page.
