I have the kernel configured with 65536 sockets. This system is very fast, connected to a very fast network, with a very fast storage system. It is handling about 5000 connections per second and is maxing out its 65536 sockets (because so many are sitting in TIME_WAIT status). This box is pushing ~90 megabit out of a gig-e card and is only using about 50% cpu, but unfortunately it cant answer any more connections because there are no more sockets available. i tried lowering msl, but that seems to make the system act "wierd" (all the webserver processes seem to block at the same status) -- and i tried upping the sockets to 131072, but that seems to cause the system to panic. any ideas? --Phil
