Let's say 100r/s, with 1s average requests => 300, which seems reasonable.
But, I might have from times to times a wave of people (with potentialy slow connections) requesting big videos at the same time.
So the connections are going to stay open for many seconds, maybe even minutes...
So, to stay on the safe side, I guess I will raise it to 4096.
