icestorm max clients

[diddek]

Hi,

A little question: what is the limit on connection accepts?

I found out that the ACE-Svc_handler has a limit of somewhere in between 50 and 75 open handles, and beyond that you have to find out how the recycling strategy works.

Is there such a limit in icestorm?

Can I have like 10000 clients 'out-of-the-box'?

Thanks in advance,

Dirk

This question cannot be answered so easily. It heavily depends on what your clients are doing, what hardware you have, what operating system, etc.

If all the 10,000 clients are sending events like crazy, even a good server system will have trouble to keep up. If, on the other hand, the clients are idle much of the time, then there is no problem.

The limits are really not dictated by Ice, but more by what load your system can handle in general.
