Thank you for your help. The good new is, that Tomcat really works like it supposed to. The problem is, that the operating system holds all the connections which did not receive an acknowledgement from the server.
When monitoring the tcp-connections during the tests with netstat, I could see, that the number of established connections was the sum of threads plus the number of queued requests. All other connections could be observed at the server with a SYN_RECV state. As soon as tomcat finished one request, a new connection was acknowledged and the number of connections with the SYN_RECV state decreased by one. The value of the maximum remembered connection requests in Linux is the Kernel parameter tcp_max_syn_backlog which is by default 1024. It can be reduced with the /sbin/sysctl command. best regards Peter Am Mittwoch, 6.
