DESCRIPTION

       This variable is used to limit the number of cloned DLPI streams that can be opened on the system. HP does not recommend changing this tun-
       able.  General information about DLPI can be found in the dlpi(7) manpage.

       This tunable is provided to prevent an unprivileged user from maliciously consuming the system resources  by  opening  a  large	number	of
       cloned DLPI streams.

   Who Is Expected to Change This Tunable?
       Privileged user.

   Restrictions on Changing
       Changes to this tunable take effect at the next reboot.

   When Should the Value of This Tunable Be Raised?
       This tunable should be raised when the number of DLPI applications is more than the default value.

   What Are the Side Effects of Raising the Value?
       Possible side effects would be slower system performance.

WARNINGS

       All  HP-UX kernel tunable parameters are release specific.  This parameter may be removed or have its meaning changed in future releases of
       HP-UX.

       Installation of optional kernel software, from HP or other vendors, may cause changes to tunable  parameter  values.   After  installation,
       some  tunable  parameters may no longer be at the default or recommended values.  For information about the effects of installation on tun-
       able values, consult the documentation for the kernel software being installed.	For information about optional kernel  software  that  was
       factory installed on your system, see at
