But still, I need to know what is the limit, and it seem to be quite
I understood his question to be how many ports you can add before running
out of shared memory,
not how many clients you can run before running out of cpu...
unknown… I can obviously do crash testing, but I
would prefer to rely on
certain design principles, no luck that I won’t encounter some hardcoded
limits...
well, as mentioned, you can't put things on the command line that have be
constant across the server and library. so there are some constants that
are going to be hard-coded whether you like it or not.
there is no "hard limit". the number of clients before there is so little
time left for the process cycle() depends on (a) what each client does (b)
how much time each client takes for its context switch (which is partially
a function of what it does) (c) the period size
