Socket.setPerformancePreferences

Question

Can anyone help me get more information on what this method Socket.setPerformancePreferences(int connectionTime, int latency, int bandwidth) does and how it affects the Socket performance ? The Java API information is very short and introductory only. Any links that has some examples and some discussion on this will be very helpful. I tried googling it but could find very helpful info either.

Answer 1

Here's the source code for this method in 1.6 of Oracle's distribution:

public void setPerformancePreferences(int connectionTime,
                                      int latency,
                                      int bandwidth)
{
/* Not implemented yet */
}

So it does nothing.
