Hi I could be wrong in the below description or might have misunderstood many of the concepts , please correct appropriately. 65535 ports can allowed . So on a machine namely C you can have max 65535 outbound connections What i was thinking was to send to another machines A and B from the same port [X] and then when we get data from it to [X] we can the send it to the correct application using stateful mapping or storing some information . The machines A and B are unaware of this mapping from the C machine. Can we increase it by anymeans in the kernel. Does we have patches for the above i read on the web that terry lambert has got 1.6 million simultaneous connection ? how is the way it is done. http://kerneltrap.org/node/277 Regs Nik -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
