Benefits of increasing bufferSize in server.xml

["Kilic, Hakan" <Ha...@scansoft.com>]

Hi all,

I've been tunning my Tomcat server and just wondering about the effects of
increasing the bufferSize in the server.xml. From the tomcat documentation
bufferSize is "The size (in bytes) of the buffer to be provided for input
streams created by this connector. By default, buffers of 2048 bytes will be
provided." Does this only apply to input streams (requests)? What about
large files Tomcat has to serve up to request, how do you increase the
buffer size it uses in this case (responses)?

I'm basically looking for the Tomcat equivalent of SendBufferSize in Apache.


Thanks in advance,
