I notice that the default connection count for qpid is 300 connections. That seems very low for the use case I'm interested in.
Is it reasonable to expect that each broker can serve 10,000 to 20,000 connections, if each connection just sees a few messages a second, totaling perhaps a kilobyte each of payload per second? Does this expectation hold up if I use queue forward clustering (all exchanges are fan-out) across a hundred brokers, each with 10,000 to 20,000 users? Sincerely, jw -- Americans might object: there is no way we would sacrifice our living standards for the benefit of people in the rest of the world. Nevertheless, whether we get there willingly or not, we shall soon have lower consumption rates, because our present rates are unsustainable.
