Hey Steven, When we tried Openfire (that uses MINA) on a Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, Standard Edition we were able to get 30K concurrent connections. We had to change 2 properties in the registry so that windows would allow more ports and connections. The number of connections used to fluctuate sometimes it was 40K and sometimes 28K. That is why we recommend Linux when you need to deal with lots of sockets connections. However, I would say that for 5K-10K Windows is fine.

Hi all, I am writing a server program now. There will be lots clients connect to the server at one time, maybe 5000+. The OS is windows 2003. I want to use MINA. But someone tell me that nio's implementation in windows is using the winsock select model, and that make nio can only maintain about 1024 connections at one time. Is that true? Or how many connections can be maintain by using nio or MINA ?? Thank you! Steven
