Could someone shortly elaborate on the semantics / effect of the parameter "backlog" with listenTCP?
The docs say: "size of the listen queue".
Is that a tunable within Twisted?
I mean, there are kernel parameters for queue sizes of not yet completely TCP handshaked connections and so on. But those are kernel tunables.
What does the "backlog" parameter?
The reason I am asking: I am stress testing a Twisted server and I see client connections denied upon high connection rates .. does the parameter help?
Thanks!
Tobias
