Hi,

From MSDN:

"Specifies how many stack locations the Server service establishes for I/O
Request Packets (IRPs).

It might be necessary to increase this number for certain transports or if
you have many file system drivers installed on the system. Each stack uses
36 bytes of memory for each receive buffer (also known as a work item )."

This article explains why it must sometimes it must be increased:

NT system).
