By default, <literal>backlog</literal> is set to -1 on FreeBSD, DragonFly BSD, and macOS, and to 511 on other platforms. </tag-desc> <tag-name> <literal>rcvbuf</literal>=<value>size</value> </tag-name> <tag-desc> sets the receive buffer size (the <c-def>SO_RCVBUF</c-def> option) for the listening socket (1.11.13). </tag-desc> <tag-name> <literal>sndbuf</literal>=<value>size</value> </tag-name> <tag-desc> sets the send buffer size (the <c-def>SO_SNDBUF</c-def> option) for the listening socket (1.11.13). </tag-desc> <tag-name> <literal>bind</literal> </tag-name> <tag-desc> this parameter instructs to make a separate <c-func>bind</c-func> call for a given address:port pair. The fact is that if there are several <literal>listen</literal> directives with the same port but different addresses, and one of the <literal>listen</literal> directives listens on all addresses for the given port (<literal>*:</literal><value>port</value>), nginx will <c-func>bind</c-func> only to <literal>*:</literal><value>port</value>. It should be noted that the <c-func>getsockname</c-func> system call will be made in this case to determine the address that accepted the connection. If the <literal>backlog</literal>, <literal>rcvbuf</literal>, <literal>sndbuf</literal>, <literal>ipv6only</literal>, <literal>reuseport</literal>, or <literal>so_keepalive</literal> parameters are used then for a given <value>address</value>:<value>port</value> pair a separate <c-func>bind</c-func> call will always be made. </tag-desc> <tag-name> <literal>ipv6only</literal>=<literal>on</literal>|<literal>off</literal> </tag-name> <tag-desc> this parameter determines (via the <c-def>IPV6_V6ONLY</c-def> socket option) whether an IPv6 socket listening on a wildcard address <literal>[::]</literal> will accept only IPv6 connections or both IPv6 and IPv4 connections. This parameter is turned on by default. It can only be set once on start. </tag-desc> <tag-name id="reuseport"> <literal>reuseport</literal> </tag-name> <tag-desc> this parameter (1.9.1) instructs to create an individual listening socket for each worker process (using the <c-def>SO_REUSEPORT</c-def> socket option on Linux 3.9+ and DragonFly BSD, or <c-def>SO_REUSEPORT_LB</c-def> on FreeBSD 12+), allowing a kernel to distribute incoming connections between worker processes. This currently works only on Linux 3.9+, DragonFly BSD, and FreeBSD 12+ (1.15.1). <note> Inappropriate use of this option may have its security <link url="http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/socket.7.html">implications</link>. </note> </tag-desc> <tag-name> <literal>so_keepalive</literal>=<literal>on</literal>|<literal>off</literal>|[<value>keepidle</value>]:[<value>keepintvl</value>]:[<value>keepcnt</value>] </tag-name> <tag-desc> this parameter configures the “TCP keepalive” behavior for the listening socket. If this parameter is omitted then the operating system’s settings will be in effect for the socket. If it is set to the value “<literal>on</literal>”, the <c-def>SO_KEEPALIVE</c-def> option is turned on for the socket. If it is set to the value “<literal>off</literal>”, the <c-def>SO_KEEPALIVE</c-def> option is turned off for the socket. Some operating systems support setting of TCP keepalive parameters on a per-socket basis using the <c-def>TCP_KEEPIDLE</c-def>, <c-def>TCP_KEEPINTVL</c-def>, and <c-def>TCP_KEEPCNT</c-def> socket options. On such systems (currently, Linux 2.4+, NetBSD 5+, and FreeBSD 9.0-STABLE), they can be configured using the <value>keepidle</value>, <value>keepintvl</value>, and <value>keepcnt</value> parameters. One or two parameters may be omitted, in which case the system default setting for the corresponding socket option will be in effect. For example, <example>so_keepalive=30m::10</example> will set the idle timeout (<c-def>TCP_KEEPIDLE</c-def>) to 30 minutes, leave the probe interval (<c-def>TCP_KEEPINTVL</c-def>) at its system default, and set the probes count (<c-def>TCP_KEEPCNT</c-def>) to 10 probes. </tag-desc> </list> </para> <para> Different servers must listen on different <value>address</value>:<value>port</value> pairs. </para> </directive> <directive name="preread_buffer_size"> <syntax><value>size</value></syntax> <default>16k</default> <context>stream</context> <context>server</context> <appeared-in>1.11.5</appeared-in> <para> Specifies a <value>size</value> of the <link doc="stream_processing.xml" id="preread_phase">preread</link> buffer. </para> </directive> <directive name="preread_timeout"> <syntax><value>timeout</value></syntax> <default>30s</default> <context>stream</context> <context>server</context> <appeared-in>1.11.5</appeared-in> <para> Specifies a <value>timeout</value> of the <link doc="stream_processing.xml" id="preread_phase">preread</link> phase. </para> </directive> <directive name="proxy_protocol_timeout"> <syntax><value>timeout</value></syntax> <default>30s</default> <context>stream</context> <context>server</context> <appeared-in>1.11.4</appeared-in> <para> Specifies a <value>timeout</value> for reading the PROXY protocol header to complete.
