IdleAckInterval
This tag specifies the maximum time the server may wait before it sends back an ack
(acknowledgement code) for a client idle post.
Ack is shorthand for acknowledgement code, a transmission control character used to indicate
that a transmitted message was received uncorrupted or without errors. It also indicates that
the receiving server is ready to accept transmissions. The receiver sends the code to the sender
to indicate that the transmission has been accepted.
The values for this tag and the
IdlePostInterval tag affect the latency observed by a client
tunneling into the server. These tags should be configured at the same time.
Description
The default settings for the IdleAckInterval and IdlePostInterval tags provide medium
latency and is set to 512/512 milliseconds.
Low values reduce the latency but increase the network bandwidth overhead. Applications
desiring low latency may configure the combination of values 128/256 for the
IdlePostInterval and IdleAckInterval tags. Those applications not sensitive to high
latencies may use the combination 1024/2048.

IdlePostInterval
This tag specifies in milliseconds the interval at which the client sends idle posts to the server
to indicate that Flash Player has no data to send.
Description
The default settings for the IdleAckInterval and IdlePostInterval tags provide medium
latency and are set to 512/512 milliseconds.
Low values reduce the latency but increase the network bandwidth overhead. Applications
desiring low latency may configure the combination of values 128/256 for
IdlePostInterval and IdleAckInterval tags. Those applications not liable to high
latencies can use the configuration 1024/2048.
