incoming_max and resp_conn_max

Problem

For each of the protocols enabled in Gateway, there is a setting (resp_conn_max) that controls the maximum number of responder connections. There is another setting (incoming_max) that controls the maximum number of incoming connections. What is the difference between these two values?

Resolution


This will depend on the underlying transport protocol used. For TCP connections, the value used is the one from resp_conn_max; for X.25 and SNA, Gateway will use incoming_max.
