====== Advanced Server Configuration ======

===== Network Performance=====

Several properties can be set to tune the network performance of your server.

  * **Number of work threads** : Setting this property keeps the server from creating too much threads.  Most operating systems take a serious performance hit when too many threads are active.
  * **Maximum total of pending requests** : Setting this property makes sure the server doesn't run out of memory.  When this total is reached, new connections.  This limit also protects the server from denial-of-service attacks.

==== DOX Service Properties ====

The DOX service implements a very efficient binary protocol for talking to other services.  It is used by Orbit GIS to talk to the GIS service (EOS).  

The following properties can be added to ''<server>/config/server.ini''
  * ''portserver.DOX.workthread.count'' - Number of worker threads (defaults to 10)
  * ''portserver.DOX.maximum.pending.requests'' - Maximum total of pending requests (defaults to 25)


==== IOS Service Properties ====

The IOS service is a service for HTTP requests.  The OFM product implements a set of basic requests, which are used by the OFM Flash component to bring GIS data to the web.  Requests of this service also talk to the EOS service (ex.: map render request, geocoding request, ...).

The following properties can be added to ''<server>/config/server.ini''
  * ''portserver.IOS.workthread.count'' - Number of worker threads (defaults to 10)
  * ''portserver.IOS.maximum.pending.requests'' - Maximum total of pending requests (defaults to 25)
