ipcl_conn_hash_size
Parameter
- Description
-
Controls the size of the connection hash table used by IP. The default value of 0 means that the system automatically sizes an appropriate value for this parameter at boot time, depending on the available memory.
- Data Type
-
Unsigned integer
- Default
-
0
- Range
-
0 to 82,500
- Dynamic?
-
No. The parameter can only be changed at boot time.
- When to Change
-
If the system consistently has tens of thousands of TCP connections, the value can be increased accordingly. Increasing the hash table size means that more memory is wired down, thereby reducing available memory to user applications.
