Question for the community.
In Ip4 we are limited to 2exp16 ports.
Which is VERY high for HTTP GET because they are very short lived connections.
Has anybody designed an application using long lived SOCKETS? That limit could
be reached fairly quickly and you would to load balance to multiple servers (Or
maybe multiple interfaces on the server could be another solution).
My understanding is that most load balancers are HTTP based (Pound etc..) and
was wondering if anybody here has more information on that subject or designed
such an application.
Thanks
Stéphane
