An update on the situation... The Tomcat 7.0.23 servers tend to blow up (refusing to accept connections), which the Tomcat 7.0.21 servers didn't do. So I've downgraded all of the servers except one to 7.0.21. I'm keeping one of them at 7.0.23 in order to try to troubleshoot this problem.
I'm not sure if the following data answers your question, but here are some raw numbers. For one of the older Tomcat servers (7.0.21): Number of open file descriptors according to "ls -l /proc/4501/fd | wc -l": 13650 Number of those file descriptors that have filename with "socket": 8845 (65%) Number of those file descriptors that have filename with "eventpoll": 4782 (35%) Number of active connections according to "netstat -nat": 18664 Number of active connections labeled as ESTABLISHED by netstat: 8727 (47%) Number of active connections labeled as TIME_WAIT by netstat: 7638 (41%) Number of active connections labeled as LAST_ACK by netstat: 140 (< 1%) Number of active connections labeled as CLOSE_WAIT by netstat: 252 (1%) Number of active connections labeled as FIN_WAIT1 by netstat: 302 (1%) Number of active connections labeled as FIN_WAIT2 by netstat: 1347 (7%) For the newer Tomcat server (7.0.23): Number of open file descriptors according to "ls -l /proc/1648/fd | wc -l": 19478 Number of those file descriptors that have filename with "socket": 13783 (40%) Number of those file descriptors that have filename with "eventpoll": 5579 (29%) Number of active connections according to "netstat -nat": 10865 Number of active connections labeled as ESTABLISHED by netstat: 5772 (54%) Number of active connections labeled as TIME_WAIT by netstat: 3205 (30%) Number of active connections labeled as LAST_ACK by netstat: 106 (1%) Number of active connections labeled as CLOSE_WAIT by netstat: 794 (7%) Number of active connections labeled as FIN_WAIT1 by netstat: 218 (2%) Number of active connections labeled as FIN_WAIT2 by netstat: 548 (5%) Oddly, the newer Tomcat server has more open file descriptors but fewer active connections. Does this info help? Is there anything else I can tell you? Any idea in what changed between 7.0.21 and 7.0.23 that could account for this? Thanks!
