Hi Oliver, Hmmm, could be I worded the doc Badly....

Likely, yes, but these parameters do not controll that. It is strictly in the client's hands. > To my understanding from the documentation, "kill" is the timeout before > XRootD force-closes a connection in case the other end does not respond to an > end-session command, Not quite. This is the amount of time the server will wait for the connection cleanup to occur. If the cleanup does not occur in this window, the client is told to wait and try again "read" (adjusted) seconds later. Yes, I should have chosen better keywords. > while "read" is the timeout in which the initial protocol identification has > to arrive. Actually that has to do with "kill". To increase thewindow of the initial protocol identification, you should set "hail". > So increasing these makes XRootD less sensitive if the other end is slow > (e.g. in case it is overwhelmed), but may accumulate more connections if > there are many slow connections incoming. Well, unless you change "hail" the other two parameters merely control how long the server will tolerate connection cleanup. > This may not be needed anymore at all, and you may be better off with the > XRootD defaults especially for busy sites to prevent many connections from > piling up. > Since we added this before any smoke tests or real TPC testing was done, I've > now put this on our list of settings we should try to get rid of (and observe > if there are any adverse effects), I would agree.
