Photon 서버 환경 설정

Instance

Multiple instances are supported. Each instance has its own node in the config file.

Setting	Photon Default	Config Default	Description
ConfigName	–	–	Optional "ConfigName" value from config file; if present it will be logged.
ReportOnJob	–	FALSE	Causes Photon to determine if it is running inside a Win32 job object and if so reports on the limits currently imposed.
LogFileLocation	–		Sets the path for logfiles. Default is the location where the server is started. Can be absolute or relative to PhotonSocketServer.exe.
EnablePerformanceCounters	–	TRUE	Determines whether the server will enable its performance counters. The implementation creates a shared memory segment requiring suitable privileges. Set to "false" to run without those privileges.
MaxMessageSize	–	512000	Maximum number of bytes for a UDP, TCP or WebSockets message. If exceeded, the client will be disconnected. Can be overwritten in the appropriate listener.
ShutdownTimeout	–	30000	When a Photon shutdown has not finished after this timeout (in ms), the process is forcibly killed.
DisplayName	–	–	An optional display name for this instance, shown in Photon Control.

TCP

Setting	Photon Default	Config Default	Description
TCPBufferSize	–	4096	The size of buffer used during TCP data transfer. Does not restrict message size. Ideal to have slightly more than the average message size.
TCPBufferAllocatorPoolSize	–	500	The number of buffers used for TCP data transfer kept in the pool for later reuse. Trade-off of speed vs resources.
StreamSocketAllocatorPoolSize	–	250	The number of TCP sockets kept in the pool for later reuse. Trade-off of speed vs resources.

UDP/ENet

Setting	Photon Default	Config Default	Description
DatagramSocketAllocatorPoolSize	–	1000	The number of datagram sockets kept in the pool for later reuse. Trade-off of speed vs resources.
PingIntervalMilliseconds	–	1000	How often a ping is sent from server to client when no data is flowing. A larger value leads to less server load. Defaults to the ENet standard value of 500ms.
DataSendingDelayMilliseconds	5	5	How long the server waits to accumulate more data before sending. Larger values = fewer datagrams but higher latency.
AckSendingDelayMilliseconds	5	5	How long the server waits before sending an ACK, allowing it to piggyback onto a data packet. Doesn't increase latency.
ENETBufferAllocatorPoolSize	–	5000	The number of buffers kept in the pool for later reuse. Trade-off of speed vs resources.
ValidateCRCifPresent	–	FALSE	If enabled, incoming datagrams with an optional CRC value will have their checksum validated. Outbound datagrams to peers created with CRC will also include the CRC value.
MinimumTimeout	5000	5000	Minimum time before an ENet peer's lack of response causes a timeout disconnect. Actual time is determined dynamically per peer based on RTT history.
MaximumTimeout	30000	30000	Maximum time before an ENet peer's lack of response causes a timeout disconnect. Actual time is determined dynamically per peer based on RTT history.
MinimumRetransmitTimeout	200	–	Sets a minimum retransmission time. Low-latency peers may be delayed. Reduces retransmission speed and server load.
MaximumRetransmitTimeout	0	–	Defines the maximum retransmission time. 0 = feature is turned off.
RTTACKAdjustmentTimeout	0	–	When set, the last retransmit-timeout is used (fast resend) instead of last retransmit-timeout×2 if the peer received any data during the period. 0 = feature is turned off.

UDP/ENet Throttling

Setting	Photon Default	Config Default	Description
PerPeerMaxReliableDataInTransit	51200	16384	Maximum amount of reliable data (in bytes) a peer can have in-flight without ACK. Once reached, future reliable data is queued.
PerPeerTransmitRateLimitKBSec	256	256	Maximum data (reliable + unreliable) that can be sent per second (in KB). When reached, reliable data is queued and unreliable data is dropped.
PerPeerTransmitRatePeriodMilliseconds	–	200	How often the transmit rate limit is checked. Smaller = smoother flow; larger = less server resources used.
MaxQueuedDataPerPeer	512000	163840	Maximum amount of reliable data a peer can queue. Once exceeded, future reliable sends return an error code.

Debugging

Setting	Photon Default	Config Default	Description
ProduceDumps	–	TRUE	Enable or disable creation of dump files in case of a crash. Dump files are essential to find issues in the Photon Core.
DumpType	–	Full	Type of crash dumps: "Full", "Maxi", or "Mini". Less information from first to last but also less disk space.
MaxDumpsToProduce	–	10	Maximum number of dump files written. If files are moved or deleted, new ones can be written.

IOPool

Handles all I/O operations such as datagram sending/reception, TCP read completions, etc. Can also handle ENet protocol operations if ENetThreadPool\OnlyDispatchTimers is "true".

Setting	Photon Default	Config Default	Description
NumThreads	–	2	Number of threads for socket I/O. 4–8 tends to be good. If set to 0, uses 2× the number of CPU cores.

ThreadPool

Setting	Photon Default	Config Default	Description
InitialThreads	–	4	Number of threads the thread pool starts with.
MinThreads	–	4	Minimum number of threads in the pool.
MaxThreads	–	4	Maximum number of threads. If Initial, Min, and Max are the same, the pool is static (more efficient). Dynamic pools grow and shrink as demand changes.
MaxDormantThreads	–	4	Maximum number of dormant (idle) threads. Excess threads will be shut down.
PoolMaintPeriod	–	5000	How often (in ms) the pool is maintained to check on and shut down dormant threads.
DispatchTimeout	–	100	If a work item is dispatched and this many milliseconds pass before a worker picks it up, a new thread may be started.
