PipeIncrement

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters

Data type Range Default value
REG_DWORD 0x0 - 0xFFFFFFFF milliseconds 0xA (10)

Description

Controls the rate at which the redirector "backs off" on failing nonblocking named pipe read operations.

This entry is used to prevent an errant application from swamping a server with nonblocking requests when there is no data available for the application. You can use the backoff statistics to tune this entry to be more efficient for an application that uses nonblocking named pipes. However, this value does not affect applications, such as SQL Server applications, which do their own buffering.
