With 2000 simultaneous connections, your limit would be the kernel, not the encryption. :)

I put together a multi-way messaging system supporting over 2000 simultaneous persistent connections. During my initial design, I was concerned that the encryption would become an issue, especially with that many connections. So, we purchased some pretty burly hardware to support the application ( Dual 2.0 GHz Xserve G5 ). It turns out that the encryption has almost no impact on performance and that machine spends most of its time at 95% idle. :) On May 14, 2006, at 5:29 PM, Kyle Hamilton wrote: > Most of the time > you'll find the bottlenecks aren't in the SSL/TLS layer at all.
