Unfortunately, my test code is proprietary, as it relies on some deep (and hard won) knowledge of the BSD stack. It's pretty trivial to build code that can run on 25 client machines tuned to 10,000 fd's each, and a server that just forks and accepts connections will leave you some idea of how much remaining capability there is on your target server, after tuning, to do actual work. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
