[389-users] Size limit

[Mister Anonyme]

Hi,

The default value of response size limit in directory server is 2000 entries.

I couldn't find any documentation that explains clearly what could cause any issues if I set it to unlimited (-1).  I have some clients that would want to get a bulk response according to some search patterns.  Actually, we have around 5000 objects that could be returned to clients.

Is by putting a size limit to -1 would cause an impact to the server performance ?

Why does the size limit exists? Because of small clients and networks with high latency/low bandwith ?

What is the difference between getting a bulk response in one shot and in paged mode;  I mean does the paged mode really relieve the load on the server side, ie: sending 1000 responses in 5 pages instead of giving 5000 responses in one shot ?

Thank you in advance!
