Yes. Limiting the number of sessions that the socket can handle in parallel means that the app can be resilient against DoS attacks, i.e. running out of file descriptors, memory, CPU etc. > Does this suggest that it would also be possible to query the number > of connections? That would be very useful for some cases. The application can never be sure about how many peers there are. Think multicast. Or think global distribution tree. If, OTOH, what you are interested in is actual memory/fd/CPU footprint rather than number of peers, that can be done in theory, but it's pretty hard to implement. Relying on existing monitoring tools would be a more viable option IMO.
