Connection load shedding

The load shedding feature prevents client request overloads. When there are more client connections than the specified limit, the ARM forwards incoming requests directly to the origin server. The default client connection limit is 1 million connections.

Steps

  1. In the Content Gateway manager, navigate to the Configure > Networking > Connection Management > Load Shedding page.
  2. In the Maximum Connections field, specify the maximum number of client connections allowed before the ARM starts forwarding requests directly to the origin server.
  3. Click Apply.
  4. Navigate to the Configure > My Proxy > Basic > General tab and click Restart.
