Hello All,

Can you let me know if I can control/configure the number of connections per application instance? Is there a limit to the number of connections I can create per instance?

Thanks in advance,

Rajan

Rajan,

You can set a limit per VHost in /conf/VHosts.xml (not VHost.xml) /ConnectionLimit

You can set limits per application and stream:

No, there is no recommended limit. It depends on your situation. Most people do not set limits, focus instead on accommodating demand.
