<div>Jeff;</div><div><br></div>Handshake timeout? I think that's what happens when the client opens a socket (using amqp_open_socket) to the broker and doesn't complete the handshake process (calling amqp_login) in a certain amount of time. The timeout is something set on the broker.<div>
<br></div><div>I could imagine this sort of thing happening if for whatever reason the handshake was delayed, or you open a bunch of sockets to the broker without doing the handshake (calling amqp_login). Other reasons why this could be happening:</div>
<div>- The broker is too busy (I/O or CPU) to complete the handshake in enough time (maybe you have a bunch of clients trying to connect at the same time?)</div><div>- There is a serious amount of network traffic preventing your clients from getting to the broker.</div>
<div>- Something on the client side is really slowing down the handshake process</div><div><br></div><div>Going to CC the rabbitmq-discuss list see if they have any ideas.</div><div><div><br></div><div>-Alan</div><div><br>
