If your setup is : Server A with one IP address listening to port 80 'Client B' with one IP address, trying to open many sockets to A (port 80) Then yes you have a 64k limit for this particular client B. Just add 15 more clients (or 16 IP addresses on B) if you really want to stress A ;) - 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
