Each proxyd handles one incoming client connection and makes one connection to a backend server. If you have 20000 simultaneous connections, you will have 20000 proxyd processes. > Any metric to sizing IO Use for frontends and backends ?? Frontends don't use I/O except a pair of network connections. Backend I/O needs will be hard to calculate because they depend on your client usage patterns. Your storage backend will be the most important factor determining performance.
