Applies to

  • ONTAP 9.13.1 and higher
  • KTLS

Answer

  • For ONTAP 9.13.1 and higher, KTLS handshake limits are based on the number of CPU cores. 
  • ONTAP 9.17.1 added a second, or deferral and pending request queue effectively doubling the size of the handshake limits for applications. 
  • The deferral queue is enabled by default for server connections. It is not enabled for client connections.
