Hi Yacan, 

Unfortunately what you found is a known scale (and somewhat performance) 
limitation for cut-through sessions. There is a plan to alleviate that by 
allocating per app pair segments (as opposed to per connection) but no ETA for 
it. If anybody else is interested in tackling this, let me know and I’ll be 
glad to provide some guidance. 

In the interim, set the LDP_SID_BIT env variable to something larger to set 
aside more fds for linux. 

Regards, 
Florin
