We set the \"maxConnections\"  to limit the connections of the worker. But we found that if a new request reach the limit of the \"maxConnections\", the request will retry on other workers. I think can we have an option, if a new request reach the limit, we can just drop the request instead of retrying the request on other workers ? Because as the system is under a very high load, the other workers may also be very busy at this moment. Here is a example on \"**v22.7.0**\".\r\n\r\n```javascript\r\nconst cluster = require('cluster');\r\nconst http = require('http');\r\nconst process = require('process');\r\n\r\nif (cluster.isPrimary) {\r\n  console.log(`Master ${process.pid} is running.\\n`);\r\n  for (let i = 0; i \u003c 1; i++) {\r\n    cluster.fork();\r\n  }\r\n} else {\r\n  const server = http.createServer((req, res) =\u003e {\r\n    res.writeHead(200);\r\n    res.end('hello world\\n');\r\n  });\r\n\r\n  server.maxConnections = 0;\r\n\r\n  server.listen(8000, () =\u003e {\r\n    console.log(`Worker ${process.pid} started`);\r\n  });\r\n}\r\n```\n\n### What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?\n\nFor example, add An option \"--maxconnections-drop-request\"  to the node \"Command-line options\" while on start up.\n\n### What alternatives have you considered?\n\n_No response_","author":{"url":"https://github.com/EchoFUN","@type":"Person","name":"EchoFUN"},"datePublished":"2024-09-11T05:09:37.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":6},"url":"https://github.com/54882/node/issues/54882"}
