I read the man 2 listen.
I don’t understand what is the backlog value, it says
The backlog argument defines the maximum length to which the queue of pending connections for sockfd may grow
Right, how can I define what is the best value?
Thanks
Basically, what the
listen()backlog affects is how many incoming connections can queue up if your application isn’taccept()ing connections as soon as they come in. It’s not particularly important to most applications. The maximum value used by most systems is 128, and passing that is generally safe.
