You can use this parameter to protect your SAP System from a Denial-Of-Service attack (DoS).

The value of the parameter is the maximum size (KB) of an HTTP(s) request that can be forwarded by the ICM. Requests whose content length (content-length) exceeds the specified value are already rejected by the ICM.

This means that no resources are required in the backend (memory, work processes).
