AcceptFilter

Synopsis

AcceptFilter on|off
Default: AcceptFilter on
server config
Compatibility: AcceptFilter is available in Apache 1.3.22 and later 

AcceptFilter controls a BSD-specific filter optimization. It is compiled in by default — and switched on by default if your system supports it (setsocketopt( ) option SO_ACCEPTFILTER). Currently, only FreeBSD supports this.

See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/perf-bsd44.html for more information.

The compile time flag AP_ACCEPTFILTER_OFF can be used to change the default to off. httpd -V and httpd -L will show compile-time defaults and whether or not SO_ACCEPTFILTER was defined during the compile.
