Example: 5.x Web Agent

In this example, the web server is configured for 150 concurrent processes. Your environment may differ.

Using the default socket settings in the HCO on startup, a 5.x Web Agent opens two sockets to each port, 44441, 44442, and 44443, as specified by MinSocketsPerPort. As needed, the Web Agent opens additional sockets on each port as specified by NewSocketSetup up to the number specified by MaxSocketsPerPort. The maximum number of sockets a 5.x Web Agent opens to communicate with each Policy Server listed in its HCO is 9000.
