Increasing Network Threads without Setting Thread Affinity

If you want to increase the number of network threads without assigning them to specific cores, use the network_thread_count parameter.

The network_thread_count lets the EMS server control the number of network threads and also lets the administrator control the thread affinity externally (for example, by using the Linux taskset command).

If you set the thread affinity externally, we recommend that you avoid setting any thread affinity in the EMS server for either network traffic or stores.

The EMS server ignores the network_thread_count if the processor_ids parameter is also specified.
