Start with how many concurrent connections you expect there to be.
10, 1000, 10000, 250000, 4000000...?
If you're going to support 5,000 logged in users to a web site, each one
of those is going to need 'n' connections to the web server, so maybe
you end up at 50,000 concurrent connections.
Web connections are normally short lived, but they still need to time
out properly.
So 50,000 concurrent sessions multiplied by 2*TCP_MSL (240) becomes a
table size of no less than 1,200,000.
