To reduce the needed number of connections, all communication between two servers is handled through one site handler. This site handler can preread and keep track of data packets for each user before the user process that needs them is ready.
To control how many packets a site handler will preread, use remote server pre-read packets. The default value, 3, is adequate in all cases; higher values can use too much memory. Only a System Administrator can set remote server pre-read packets. For more information, see “remote server pre-read packets”.
