What is the max value for Device Queue Depth?

Hi. I am actually a DBA and recently I started learning vmware architecture due to the fact that we are running our database on vmware. My question is related to the esxi queues. I found these two images in the web:

However, I can't find the Default and Max values for Device (LUN) queue depth which is pointed on the above image.

For more details, I also found this image:

Which shows that in this scenario Device Max Queue Depth is 1024.

 

Some questions come into my mind regarding Device Queue Depth which I can't find in the web, so I thought I can get help here. 

 

What are the default and max values for Device Queue Depth?

Does it depend on HBA Queue Depth?

Where do I suppose to get this number?

Does it depend on the vendor's characteristics?
