EmployeeHi Rob,
What section of article K15821 says that the adaptive reaping isn't triggered until the high water mark is reached? Maybe I am just missing that part but I don't see where it explicitly says that. Either way, please let me know because I would like to have that changed if it does say that somewhere.
Regarding your question, the low-water mark is where the sweeper triggers initially. It then becomes more aggressive as it gets closer to the high-water mark. There is a third article that explains this a bit more.
K15738: Low Water and High Water values for adaptive connection reaping are now configured in an eviction policy

Please see the "New Behavior" section in the article. Hopefully this answers you question.

CirrostratusHi Nathan,
In Solution K15821, under the 'Trigger' heading, the High Water value is defined as "Specifies the percentage of the quota for this context before flow eviction starts (defaults to 95 percent)." (Emphasis added)
Under the same heading, the Low Water value is defined as "Specifies the percentage of the quota for this context before flow eviction ends, and processing of new flows resumes, after the high water mark is reached (defaults to 85 percent)." (Emphasis added)
Solution K15738 was a good reference to point out, as it makes it plain that the information in K15821 was written in terms of the pre-11.6.0 behavior - "Once memory utilization reaches the high-water mark, the system does not allow new connections until the available memory is reduced to the low-water mark threshold." (Emphasis added)
Thanks for taking a look at this.

EmployeeI definitely see what you mean now. That is definitely a bit contradictory. I'll look into having the article corrected and updated with better working if possible. Thank you for the clarification!
