  2. Timeout (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeout_(computing)

    In the Microsoft Windows and ReactOS [2] command-line interfaces, the timeout command pauses the command processor for the specified number of seconds. [3] [4] In POP connections, the server will usually close a client connection after a certain period of inactivity (the timeout period). This ensures that connections do not persist forever, if ...

  3. Python (programming language) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)

    Python is a high-level, general-purpose programming language. Its design philosophy emphasizes code readability with the use of significant indentation. [33] Python is dynamically type-checked and garbage-collected. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including structured (particularly procedural), object-oriented and functional ...

    However, the default connection timeout of Apache httpd 1.3 and 2.0 is as little as 15 seconds [6] [7] and just 5 seconds for Apache httpd 2.2 and above. [8] [9] The advantage of a short timeout is the ability to deliver multiple components of a web page quickly while not consuming resources to run multiple server processes or threads for too ...

    A network socket is a software structure within a network node of a computer network that serves as an endpoint for sending and receiving data across the network. The structure and properties of a socket are defined by an application programming interface (API) for the networking architecture.

  6. Connection string - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connection_string

    In computing, a connection string is a string that specifies information about a data source and the means of connecting to it. It is passed in code to an underlying driver or provider in order to initiate the connection. Whilst commonly used for a database connection, the data source could also be a spreadsheet or text file.

  7. TCP congestion control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_congestion_control

    There are several variations and versions of the algorithm implemented in protocol stacks of operating systems of computers that connect to the Internet. To avoid congestive collapse, TCP uses a multi-faceted congestion-control strategy. For each connection, TCP maintains a CWND, limiting the total number of unacknowledged packets that may be ...

  8. Duck typing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_typing

    Structural typing is a static typing system that determines type compatibility and equivalence by a type's structure, whereas duck typing is dynamic and determines type compatibility by only that part of a type's structure that is accessed during runtime. The TypeScript, [6] Elm [7] and Python [8] languages support structural typing to varying ...
