remote server pre-read packets determines the number of packets that will be “pre-read” by a site handler during connections with remote servers.

All communication between two servers is managed through a single site handler, to reduce the required number of connections. The site handler can pre-read and keep track of data packets for each user process before the receiving process is ready to accept them.

The default value for remote server pre-read packets is appropriate for most servers. Increasing the value uses more memory; decreasing the value can slow network traffic between servers. For more information, see Chapter 13, “Managing Remote Servers.”
