I'd like to be able to hold 10,000 (yes 10k) simultaneous long lived TCP
connections to a jserv server. Running Linux on high end PC (hopefully not
higher than maxi intel box with lots of memory).
I'd be happy to hold these connections over proprietary TCP sockets with
flat C/C++ code and maybe Pth for lightweight thread for each connection.
The amount of data actually going over these connections will not be
much. But there has to be a thread or something for each socket ready to
deal with any data that appears.
But it seems I need to tunnel over HTTP to let people behind proxy
servers connect. So, coding for worst case, I basically need to maintain 10k
long lived HTTP tunneled connections on one Linux box. That's where I'm
hoping Apache and Jserv can come in. But Apache seems to use native Linux
threads and 10k of these is too much. It seems that I can get 10k Green
threads to instantiate on my 128meg pentium 450 in the Blackdown JVM. No way
in hell native threads. So that is vaguely good news. Maybe I need a
lightweight C/C++ HTTP tunneling communication 'concentrator' to simulate
1000's of full duplex long lived connections into one or more JVMs.
(bypassing Apache
and serlet api).
That's the goal anyway. Could throw more/bigger hardware at it, but would
like to hear at least positive noises that I have a chance of this kind of
scale on a basic 2500$ PC.
Thanks
