socket options = list — [global]

Synopsis

Allowable values: socket option list

Default: TCP_NODELAY

Sets OS-specific socket options. SO_KEEPALIVE makes TCP check clients every four hours to see if they are still accessible. TCP_NODELAY sends even tiny packets to keep delay low. Both are recommended wherever the operating system supports them.
