which open a large number of short lived connections such as HTTP.
To enable connection
pooling 1. Click the Setup tab to display the Setup: Optimization Service - General Settings
page.
2. Click Optimization Services in the left menu to display the Setup: Optimization
Service - Connection Pooling page.

3. Under Connection Pooling Size, type the connection pooling size in the
Maximum Connection Pooling Size text box. The default value is 20.
4. Click Apply to apply your settings to the running configuration. (Apply your
settings to test a new configuration before committing it to memory.)
5. Click Save to write your settings to memory or click Reset to return the settings to
their previous values.
IMPORTANT: You must restart the HP EFS WAN Accelerator service on the HP EFS WAN
Accelerator if you have modified your connection pooling parameters. For detailed information
about restarting the HP EFS WAN Accelerator service, see the
“Starting and Stopping the HP
EFS WAN Accelerator Service and PFS” on page 127 .
