Hey I'm gonna set a network up for a weekend for 2000 clients. Im going to use traffic control with linux 2.4.20 kernel. When 2000 clients use internet though the gateway, there come heavily pressure on the server, and i would like some tutorials to read about kernel optimizing and other stuff which will come in use when maybe 5000 connections are open to the outworld. I don't think linux can handle it "out of the box". and conf files i shall set up to handle the pressure Thanks Regards Matias Bjoerling
