Configuring Timeout Durations

Scenarios

You can configure timeout durations (idle timeout, request timeout, and response timeout) for your listeners to meet varied demands. For example, if the size of a request from an HTTP or HTTPS client is large, you can increase the request timeout duration to ensure that the request can be successfully routed.

For shared load balancers, you can only change the timeout durations of TCP, HTTP, and HTTPS listeners, but cannot change the timeout durations of UDP listeners.

For dedicated load balancers, you can change the timeout durations of TCP, UDP, HTTP, and HTTPS listeners.
