Description

Resolution:
The  _socket_listen_backlog option is setting a TCP option, specifically,  listen_backlog. It
is the number of pending connect requests that the listen socket can have at any one time.
It can help in situations where a lot of client applications are trying to connect to the server at the same time.

The default in SmartSockets 5.5 was 5, starting in SmartSockets 6.0 the value was changed to 100. The value of 100 should be sufficient for most situations. If you feel that you need to modify this option you should first check with Support.
