<PRE>
Can anyone point me at some information regarding the ability to support
massive numbers simultaneous connections (read: 1000+). I've looked at
the various documents in the library (like the c10k one), but they
really aren't all that helpful. Does a server of this magnitude simply
require massive amounts of memory, or am I doing something terribly
wrong? Any suggestions as to how I can increase the number of
simultaneous (active) connections? I say 'active' here because I can
easily connect to many sockets if they aren't actually sending or
receiving any data, so it is my guess that the OS (in this case Linux)
is doing some buffering of sorts which eats up all my memory. I
couldn't get past 500 or so on a machine with 256 megs of RAM. Am I
wrong in thinking that the poor machine should be able to handle many
more than that?
Thanks,
Chris
