listen( maxpend = 5 )

[tsnelling]

In the below line (from tcp.h), what is the maxpend?
Is it the limit of ports that can be configured to listen for a tcp connection?
Can i increase this value?
"inline int listen( IPADDR4 addr, WORD port, BYTE maxpend = 5 )"

Thanks,

Hi Tim,

The listen() process things one at a time. The maxpend is a queue for requests that come in; they are put in a pend queue and processed in order.
