 Posted: Tue Feb 01, 2005 7:46 pm Post subject: Default Values for Keep-Alive Requests and Max. Connections |
 |
|
Hello Aprelium and Aprelium Forum people--
Using Beta.
I have changed the settings for "Keep Alive Requests" and "Maximun Simultaneous Requests" in Server Parameters.
Can anyone tell me what the default settings are supposed to be? (I cannot now remember :-\ And anyones opinion of what is a reasonable setting for these two parameters on a busy site (1000-1800) page request/day with a pretty decent processor.
I would be interested in what Aprelium has their Abyss server settings at for these parameters on this site if they wouldn't mind sharing.
Any general feedback about the consequences of setting these too high or too low would be appreciated as well. I am not sure I fully understand these parameters in general--what the difference between them really is and what consequences will occur from changing them to server function, etc.
Regards,
Axis |

To get know about every console function, have a look to documentation.

Keep-Alive Requests: The maximum number of requests that can be served over the same connection. Only HTTP/1.1 and some HTTP/1.0 compliant browsers can benefit from this feature.
Maximum Simultaneous Requests: The maximum number of requests the server can serve in parallel.

If the Keep-Alive Requests is too high, all depends on the browser your visitors use. Some of them will get a HTML page and all its images from the same (or at most 2 connections). So if you have a page with many images (>20), the visitor may feel that the images are loaded very slowly (because they are being downloaded one after the other over the same connection.) But this is an extreme situation.
If the Maximum Simultaneous Requests is very high, you can accept many simultaneous requests but the disadvantage is that on a highly loaded computer (or a slow computer), every connection will be served very slowly as they all have to share the same processing power. It is similar to opening 50 applications on the same computer: your machine will be slower than with the same computer running only 10 of them. |
