  • 1.  Throttling connections

    Hi,
    We have throttling activated on a server but we get som log messages that I don't understand.. 

    First we get this log message that is OK: Throttling connections due to low memory
    A few seconds later we get this message: rejecting connection from '127.0.0.1' on port '63504'

    Does anyone know why the reject message comes?
    Is it because the backlog queue is full?

    Regards
    Jocke D

    That's a pretty high ephemeral port.  I would suspect something internal is getting held up as well.  I also suspect it might take diag mode to figure it out.

    Have you tried generating an error report and taking a look at it?

    No I havn't done that.
    I'll do some more digging and see what I can find.  :)

    Hi that port is a reserved port used for some internal IPC ; and the reject is because when the throttler detects high mem it starts rejecting new connections in an attempt to shed load and hopefully lower memory.

    I agree an ER can help you investigate.
