The main argument you should keep in mind is that connection limit is not "64k", it is "64k from single local //port// to single remote //address//". Which in itself is a hard to even imagine (not to say - reach) situation. There's more realistic limits set in kernel, which will be reached long before that, and which can still be configured to allow for more simultaneous connections, than set by default. Google "c10k problem" for pointers to possible solutions. -- With best regards, Andrey Repin Monday, March 4, 2019 21:49:26 Sorry for my terrible english...
