What is Connection Pooling (TCP Multiplexing)?
Connection pooling significantly increases network performance by reducing connection load on servers and by avoiding the constant interruption of connection setup and tear down. In a connection pooled environment, a pool of server connections is maintained for servicing client connections. When a client requests a connection, an unused connection is selected from the server pool and used to service the request. When the client request is complete, the server connection is returned to the pool and the client connection dropped. In release 23.0 and higher, this feature will only support the HTTP and HTTPS protocols over TCP with delayed binding enabled.
