TCP_RECV_BUFFER - UBROKER configuration option

Description

The TCP_RECV_BUFFER option specifies the size of the TCP receive buffer used for socket connections.

TCP_RECV_BUFFER provides the ability to tune TCP data transfer performance between a manager component and a server component started by the Universal Broker. See Network Data Transfer Tuning for a description on using this option to tune data transfer performance.

Universal Broker will instruct TCP to set the socket receive buffer to the specified size. The actual TCP receive buffer size used is determined by TCP based on its configuration. The TCP configuration can limit the buffer size to a maximum value for example.
