Adjusting pipe-size of Windows multiplexer

Last Updated: May 09, 2014 03:23PM CEST

The multiplexer uses a resource called pipe with a limited size (length).

The length is sufficient to hold Messages for around about 800 data splits by Default.

Use mpx.ini parameter "pipe-size" to increase it further optionally:

pipe-size: Number Of Bytes

Number Of Bytes should be at least 20 times the number of desired data splits, that is (maxmem+maxfile)/split.

Example mpx.ini Settings:

maxmem: 800

maxfile: 1600

split: 2

This results in a number of data splits of 1200 = (800+1600)/2 and thus pipe-size should be set to at least

pipe-size: 24000
