Message-ID: <85e0e3140703090019r7daf5ce4g9269925773374bf7@mail.gmail.com> Date: Fri, 9 Mar 2007 13:49:34 +0530 From: Niklaus <niklaus@...il.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: more than 65535 outbound connections Hi, I could be wrong in the below description or might have misunderstood many of the concepts , please correct appropriately. 65535 ports can allowed . So on a machine namely C you can have max 65535 outbound connections What i was thinking was to send to another machines A and B from the same port [X] and then when we get data from it to [X] we can the send it to the correct application using stateful mapping or storing some information . The machines A and B are unaware of this mapping from the C machine. Can we increase it by anymeans in the kernel. Does we have patches for the above i read on the web that terry lambert has got 1.6 million simultaneous connection ? how is the way it is done. http://kerneltrap.org/node/277 Regs Nik - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
