Guess I should rename my page c100k.html :-)
Alan recently said that each handle takes up 20k in kernel space.
so 100,000 connections could take up 100k*20k = 2GB of RAM,
which might cause some trouble except on very recent kernels
(and maybe you still need a patch for this).
I'd be interested in hearing whether anyone has gone past
64k handles opened; who knows, maybe some bad code somewhere is
using a short to hold an fd.
