Access: Read-only
Allowed in includes: Not available for latest rule format

This behavior activates persistent connections between edge servers and clients, which allow for better performance and more efficient use of resources. Compare with the persistentConnection behavior, which configures persistent connections for the entire journey from origin to edge to client. Contact Akamai Professional Services for help configuring either.

Warning. Disabling or removing this behavior may negatively affect performance.
