Asankha To reiterate what Christopher said, if you close the listening socket because you think you can't service one extra client, you will lose all the connections on the backlog queue, which could be hundreds of clients, that you *can* service.
In addition, those clients will then get exactly the behaviour that you are complaining about: a successful connection and then a 'connection reset' when doing I/O. Note also that you cannot know how long the backlog queue is, nor how many clients are already in it. There is no possibility of this proposal being accepted.
