Comment #7 on issue 10810 by [email protected]: Reopening tabs from  
previous browser session can't be done in one batch - often causes crashes  
in home gateways
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=10810

I can try to compile such data - considering some options, so guidance  
would be
appreciated.

First, a list of routers affected by a (lowish) max in Global connections.
http://www.tocomet.com/post/26400/ (Circa 2006)
I'm attempting to find more up to date data, or a breakdown of routers  
sold, but
subjectively :

Westtell modems are incredibly common DSL modems out here in CA. The  
Netgear DG and
WG series were the backbone of the Netgear series when this list was  
compiled and
sold well (I've got one of most of them sitting around somewhere.) The  
Linksys
devices - similiar story. The DLink DI series was the cheapest router  
around for a
while, and also sold a ton. (Cover those brands plus Belkin and you've  
covered the
wireless router supply of most big box electronics retailers.)

Not everyone's using a brand new 802.11n, and I'd posit that some of those  
routers
still have the same problem. (Will source this when I find hard evidence.)

====
200 connections seems to be a problem threshold. It isn't hard to reach  
this.

I just pulled up finance.yahoo.com. I counted 14 simultaneous requests  
(well above
the HTTP connection limit, as the requests were being made of different  
servers), and
that's just assuming that the requests all are serviced rapidly. In the  
situation
that I'm talking about, part of the problem is that many home/mobile  
connections
would be saturated - so those 14 would take much longer (and there would  
probably be
more requests triggered as they started to come back.) [In the example  
given, there
were 39 total connections formed, most in groups of 14, 5, 4 or 6]

Given this example, imagine a few ajaxy sites, a google doc perhaps, maybe  
some flash
content, and you can easily see passing 200 connections. Even 50 tabs (not  
unheard
of) on a simple HTTP 1.0 server without any content on other domains would  
hit this
limit.

====

As far as collecting data from others :

Would you consider a python script opening as many tabs in a similar way  
(with
comparison tcpdumps to prove that the behavior is similiar) as a reasonably  
proxy for
a test? (Easier to distribute an executable to others rather than ensuring  
that they
have Chrome installed and forcing in a tabset.)
