| <title>Connection Limits</title> |
| <para> |
| Each connection to the Broker consumes resources while it is connected. In order to protect |
| the Broker against malfunctioning (or malicious) client processes, it is possible to limit the |
| number of connections that can be active on any given port. |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| Connection limits on AMQP ports are controlled by an attribute "maxOpenConnections" on |
| the port. By default this takes the value of the context variable |
| <literal>qpid.port.max_open_connections</literal> which in itself is defaulted to the |
| value <literal>-1</literal> meaning there is no limit. |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| If the interpolated value of <literal>maxOpenConnections</literal> on an AMQP port is a |
| positive integer, then when that many active connections have been established no new |
| connections will be allowed (until an existing connection has been closed). Any such |
| rejection of a connection will be accompanied by the operational log message |
| <link linkend="Java-Broker-Appendix-Operation-Logging-Message-PRT-1005">PRT-1005</link>. |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| The context variable <literal>qpid.port.open_connections_warn_percent</literal> can be |
| used to control when a warning log message is generated as the number of open connections |
| approaches the limit for the port. The default value of this variable is |
| <literal>80</literal> meaning that if more the number of open connections to the port |
| has exceeded 80% of the given limit then the operatinal log message |
| <link linkend="Java-Broker-Appendix-Operation-Logging-Message-PRT-1004">PRT-1004</link> |
| will be generated. |
