Re: [undertow-dev] Worker thread queue size and timeout behavior

Thats the TCP backlog queue, which is only for connections that are being initially established. Once the connection is accepted (which happens pretty quickly since undertows I/o handling is non-blocking) then the queue entry is removed. Worker size does not affect undertows ability to handle incoming connections. The reason applications set limit is just a safeguard against some types of flood/dos.
