I just got a question on the busybox mailing list: http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2010-April/072090.html Looked in Documentation to see what /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn actually _did_, found it was undocumented, grepped the kernel source for somaxconn, found just one chunk of code actually using it, replied to the guy's question: http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2010-April/072096.html And then tweaked the documentation with what I'd found, and sent in a doc patch so I wouldn't have to do that twice. It's quite possible I got it wrong. Maybe it's per interface or something? Rob -- Latency is more important than throughput.
