ONECONNECT::reuse

What is the expected behavior of the ONECONNECT::reuse disable command? Should this just prevent the connection from being re-used by multiple users or will this result in a new tcp connection for each and every piece of content on a page. It appears as the latter is occurring resulting in a flood of tcp connections to the back end server for a single user.

    Per the wiki -

     

     

    "ONECONNECT::reuse [ enable | disable ]

     

     

    disable -- closes server-side connection after server response. (server-side connection will not be re-used.)"

     

     

    So if you have ONECONNECT::reuse disable being executed with each connection then yes, you'd get new TCP connections every time. This is most useful, as Deb stated in her Wiki entry, when trying to close the connection after certain criteria are met but allow OneConnect to be used with most traffic.
