I'm using net-snmp with Perl scripts, using the SNMP (not Net::SNMP) package. I'm doing asynchronous polls to a number of switches, queueing them so that the number of simultaneous work is about ~100 targets and the queue gets refilled as soon as data flows in. There is an SNMP::Session open to each target and I'm doing frequent bulkwalks to fetch data, one bulkwalk per target. The system is running the latest Debian linux.
The number of targets seem to be hit a ceiling at around 1024. The UDP socket is open (netstat shows >1024 udp sockets) but data doesn't seem to flow. I've also increased the number of files limit from standard 1024 to 4096 with no effect. Likewise doesn't make a difference if I run the scripts as root or not. Any ideas what might be causing the 1024 limit? Any help would be appriciated, I'm quite positive I'm not the first one with this problem.
