I am designing a server to handle over 50000-100000 simultaneous connection. Currently I am using single epoll in edge trigger mode for all the connections. All is well till 50-100 connections, however after 50-100 connections I do see random lag between actual packet received and epoll notification - sometime as high as 5-10 seconds. To confirm the problem, I ran both tcpdump and my server simultaneously and I could see that tcpdump instantly shown the packet while epoll still stucked on epoll_wait.
Any suggestions what could be wrong? Do you think instead of single epoll, creating multiple epolls with each watching a lesser number of sockes will help?
