SWOOLE_BASE - how connections are distributed to workers?

[linuxd3v]

Hi there!

in SWOOLE_PROCESS mode - there is an easy to understand dispatch_mode setting that controls how requests are load-balanced to workers.

but dispatch_mode is not applicable to SWOOLE_BASE.

instead - I'm seeing this google-translated explanation of SWOOLE_BASE load balancing:

When a TCP connection request comes in, all Worker processes compete for this connection, and eventually a Worker process will successfully establish a TCP connection with the client directly. Forwarded by the Reactor thread of the main process.

Does any know what exactly its meant here by "all Worker processes compete for this connection" ?

Thank you 🙏
