If I am correct, a TCP server can make up to 64K accepts for a port at a single IP-address.
If one would like to have e.g. 1M TCP connections to a single IP-address of a powerful server (without load balancer), how to make such setup? There is a workaround to arrange several secondary IP-addresses each serving ~64K connections. Any other options? Server places to the outgoing packet source port the port of the server listening socket. Actually, the ephemeral ports at the server side are used as the hashing keys. Could it be played, tricked somehow? Y comments would be appreciated. -- Sincerely, Robert Iakobashvili, coroberti %x40 gmail %x2e com ........................................................... http://curl-loader.sourceforge.net A web testing and traffic generation tool. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
