I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this question, my apologies if it is not:
I'm implementing a web service that the clients will use persistent TCP connections to connect to a Linux (FC4) Apache Server running Php/MySQL/ModSSL. However, I would like to find out how many possible simultaneous TCP connections the server can support (assuming very light traffic load for most of the connections - mostly keepalives). I searched around on the web but not very successful some says it depends on the kernel and some says 15,000.
I suspect that since each socket takes some memory it might be depening on system configuration?
Is there any benchmark number that is available for the number of possible TCP connections? I'm just looking for a rough number. Any numbers for a typical server nowadays (I dunno, P4 with quad cpus?) will be very helpful.
thanks for any information!
