# network_thread_count

Specifies the number of network threads used by the EMS server.

    network_thread_count = threads

The threads count can be any positive integer. The default value is 1.

When set, this parameter allows the EMS server to control the number of threads while still allowing the system administrator to control the thread affinity externally (for example, by using the Linux `taskset` command).

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

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