Connections

This table shows the maximum number of connections:

Each connection based on TCP manages its own set of connections as follows:

1.When a client tries to open a TCP connection that exceeds the poll size, the TM3 Ethernet bus coupler closes the oldest connection. For Class 1 and Class 3 connections, when a client tries to open a connection that exceeds the poll size, the TM3 Ethernet bus coupler denies the new connection with the message: no resource available.

2.If all connections are busy (exchange in progress) when a client tries to open a new one, the new connection is denied.

Connections can be closed when the originator of the connection requests to close the connection it had previously opened.
