Managing Interaction Between Server and Network

The following directives are used to specify how the server interacts with the
network. They are located in the “Global Environment” of the

httpd.conf

file.

ListenBackLog

SendBufferSize

TimeOut

ListenBackLog

Specifies the maximum length of the queue of pending connections. This is useful if
the server is experiencing a TCP SYN overload, which causes numerous new
connections that open up but do not complete the task.

SendBufferSize

Increases the TCP buffer size to the number of bytes specified, thereby improving
performance.

TimeOut

Sets the maximum time, in seconds, that the server waits for the following:

The total amount of time it takes to receive a GET request.

The amount of time between receipt of TCP packets on a POST or PUT request.

The amount of time between ACKs on transmissions of TCP packets in
responses.

The default is set at 300 seconds.
