Release Overview 7 Release 2. 0. 5 Media Flow Controller 2. 0. 5 Release Notes New Features Release 2. 0. 5 introduces some changes and fixes for known issues from lower-numbered releases. This section describes new subcommands to these commands: · · · · Namespace Delivery Protocol HTTP Client-Request Network TCP Ram-Cache Virtual Player Hash Verify Namespace Delivery Protocol HTTP Client-Request · For namespace <n> delivery protocol http client-request there is a new option that you can use to ensure that all requests processed by that namespace are directly tunneled to the origin: tunnel-all Notes: · tunnel-all--Configure this namespace to tunnel all incoming requests to the origin server without further processing. The default value is disabled. Network TCP · For network tcp there is a new option useful when running non-persistent connections or performance tests on Transparent proxy configurations: max-tw-buckets <number> Notes: · max-tw-buckets--Define the maximum allowed number of TIME_WAIT sockets held by the system simultaneously. If this number is exceeded, TIME-WAIT sockets are immediately destroyed and a warning is displayed. The default value is 180000. Ram-Cache · For ram-cache there is a new option to help with handling small objects: small-buffers scale-factor <number> Notes: · small-buffers scale-factor--Configure the ratio between 32 KB buffers and 4 KB buffers in the RAM cache. The default, 0 (zero), translates to a ratio of 1:1. 25, which may not always be optimal.
