Q: I know that a hard limit of 4096 ports are available for masqerading "out
of the box". What is the practical limit that I can adjust this to allow for
more than the standard 4096 ports? I have, based on numbers gleaned from my
current NAT server (SonicWall Pro) that I have in excess of 6000 simultaneous
connections (not users) at peak times. Is this do-able with my Linux box
(Mandrake 7.2, kernel 2.2.17secure, Athlon Thunderbird 900Mhz, 256MB RAM,
100Mbit/s Ethernet cards (3Com 3C905C's).
