Select the network route resolution strategy

By default, CloudShell resolves network routes under a single, server-wide lock, so concurrent route resolutions run one at a time. Setting this key to Optimistic enables an opt-in resolver that performs the route-resolution work outside that global lock and commits the result using optimistic concurrency (it validates and, if another reservation claimed a needed resource in the meantime, retries). This allows multiple route resolutions to proceed in parallel, which can increase route-resolution throughput when many reservations resolve routes at the same time. The default Legacy strategy preserves the original single-lock behavior. Any unrecognized value falls back to Legacy.

Changing this key requires a restart of the CloudShell Server.

Key	<add key="NetworkRouteResolverStrategy" value="Optimistic"/>
Possible values	Legacy/Optimistic
Where to add/change	customer.config CloudShell Server installation directory
Default value	Legacy
