ip_squeue_worker_wait Parameter

Default

10 milliseconds

Range

0 – 50 milliseconds

Dynamic?

Yes

When to Change

Consider tuning this parameter if latency is an issue, and network traffic is light. For example, if the stem serves mostly interactive network traffic.

The default value usually works best on a network file server, a web server, or any stem that has substantial network traffic.

Zone Configuration

This parameter can only be set in the global zone.

Commitment Level

Unstable
