 Posted: Mon Oct 27, 2003 6:39 pm Post subject: Number of connections winsock can handle |
 |
|
I am writing a new server system (with a new protocol) and i am wondering if
i should opt for a stateless or keep-alive architecture.
How many users can be connected to a pc at any given point before the system
becomes unstable? There will be a lot of uploading and downloading of files.
What would the recomended limit be? 20, 30, 100 or 500 users?
Any knowledge is welcome

This has been discussed lot's of times.
The number of sockets that can simultaneously be opened depend on your
Windows version (Win 9x is limited to something less than 100) and for
serverversion is motly limited by the amount of physical RAM you have in the
system because socket use memory from the non paged pool. You could reach
50000 open sockets if you run Windows 2000 with 1GB or more of RAM.

W2k is more like 40,000, and XP like 50K. However those sockets wont be able
to do anything, and neither will the system if you open that many.
