Hi, I am trying to make a large number of connections to multiple servers from a simple tcp client. My ephemeral port range is net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 3000 64000 but it seems like after the number of connections reaches the allowed port_range, I get: bind(): Address already in use I am connecting to 3 different servers. So does that mean that I can only have a max of 65535-1024 connections, even if I am connecting to different servers. I was assuming that the kernel will use the entire tuple to store the information and would allow reusing the ephemeral port if the dst is different. Is there any option/patch to enable more that 65k connections. Thanks for your time. -- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
