Comment on 10 Million Concurrent Connections – The Kernel is the Problemparent

Comments

Your math assumes all of your connections are saturated to the max (on user's end).

If that's the case, then yeah, 10 million connections would require a 14.3 terabytes/sec connection, which doesn't exist for regular PCs, as far as I know.

There are many applications when most of your connections are sitting idly and checking something like memcache for status updates once a second.
