My guess: if the data is moving okay then the linger value doesn't affect the 
number of available sockets.

I've been setting Linger to 1000 to 10000 and I've had no trouble.

Is concerns middleware mostly querying/updating databases which doesn't 
know what bandwidth clients have available.
In case of a heavy load of small requests the number of available 
sockets could become a bottleneck, or not? With a greater linger , on 
avarage less sockets are available, or not? So , what (magiitude of) 
values could be set as defaults best, for windows and linux platforms?
