Without this setting, the server must receive an entire RPC header before processing a different one. With this setting, the system can process multiple headers at the same time. Set this parameter to T (TRUE) and then restart your AR System server to run in RPC non-blocking mode. The default for this parameter is F (FALSE); use the following syntax to set to TRUE: RPC-Non-Blocking-IO: T This functionality is not supported on Windows and Linux operating systems. The advantages of RPC-Non-Blocking-IO mode are as follows: - Prevents remote attackers from disabling RPC services. - Prevents invalid or corrupt packets from temporarily disabling the arserverd service. Important: The following patches must be installed to enable your system to use this feature. If these patches are not installed, you will see either an error message, or most of your RPC calls will be blocked.

I have checked the latest available 6.3 Configuration guide that is available online, but was not able digging that one up (perhaps it is hidden somewhere else). Suppose I might have missed. Does anyone have more insides on that ? ... when googl'ing for it some stuff comes up, but not really found an explanation so far. "SW00252563 Allow AR Plugin Server to receive RPC calls in non-blocking mode. The configuration parameter "RPC-Non-Blocking-IO" affects both AR Server and Plugin Server. Check the document on ar.conf to understand how to setup this parameter."
