[Pgpool-general] replication stability under heavy loads, many connections?

[Andre Felipe Machado]

Hello,
We spotted the cause of instability:
The pool machines had been previously tuned at their tcp kernel
parameters for high speed networks.
One of the tcp parameters tuned caused the problem with pgpool and
postgresql under heavy loads (backends at 100%):
tcp_fin_timeout was at only 10 seconds.
After configuring it to the default linux 60 seconds, the connection
instability under heavy load disapeared. At least for some days now.
Regards.
