| Defect/Enhancement Number | |
| Cause | |
| Resolution | Orbix provides the following configuration settings to limit the number of connections to and from a service: plugins:iiop:incoming_connections:soft_limit plugins:iiop:incoming_connections:hard_limit plugins:iiop:outgoing_connections:soft_limit plugins:iiop:outgoing_connections:hard_limit | 
| Workaround | |
| Notes | The setting "plugins:iiop:incoming_connections:soft_limit" sets the number of connections at which IIOP begins closing incoming (server-side) connections. This defaults to -1 (disabled). The setting "plugins:iiop:incoming_connections:hard_limit" specifies the maximum number of incoming (server-side) connections permitted to IIOP. IIOP does not accept new connections above this limit. This defaults to -1 (disabled). The setting "plugins:iiop:outgoing_connections:soft_limit" specifies the number of connections at which IIOP begins closing outgoing (client-side) connections. This defaults to -1 (disabled). The setting "plugins:iiop:outgoing_connections:hard_limit" sets the maximum number of outgoing (client-side) connections permitted to IIOP. IIOP does not allow new outgoing connections above this limit. This defaults to -1 (disabled). |
