[off-topic] Maximum TCP Server Connections

2007-02-10 Thread Steve Holden
Sorry this question isn't strictly Python-related. Does any one know how 
many simultaneous TCP connections it's practical to expect a TCP-based 
server application to support (on the OS of your choice)? I'm looking 
for the restrictions imposed by the operating environment rather than 
the application itself.

regards
  Steve

That depends entirely on the operating system environment.  For some
it's zero.  For others it's many thousands.
