Don't they each take a file discriptor as well? Meaning that it would also depend on the number of open files (files in use) on the system. Are the TCP connections just connecting to something that doesn't do anything, or something like a web server? Or all ports, meaning all TCP traffic? Also, it would depend on you memory buffer as well.
Even systems with 64 Gigs of memory (not that Linux can support that), can be DOSed by TCP depending on what else they are doing. -James -----Original Message----- From: Ole Martin Refvik [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2002 8:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Maximum TCP connection slots in Linux Anyone here know the limit for maximum open/half-open TCP connections in Linux 2.4 ?
