Out of curiosity, how was a test of one hundred thousand clients performed on a
machine with a 65k socket limit? Did the server bind to multiple addresses?
We just had a test proceed with some success with 128k sessions across our
cluster, but this is across 8 servers (16k sessions each) built on MINA, and
each JVM sharing some information through Terracotta. We've only ran into one
problem that has eluded us so far that seemingly causes all of the sockets in
use by our JVM to get messed up, causing MINA sessions, the Terracotta client
connection, and our database connections to be lost. We're running the tests
with instances on Amazon EC2, so one thing we're going to try is running it on
some physical servers. Some blogs regarding network performance of Amazon EC2
have been less than stellar in their reviews of it, and we're being pretty
tough on them.
