Hi, I had not considered the queue size in python/twisted, stupid, I know. I was also asuming I was running into some sysctl limit because of the dmesg error (and the information I found online). Now it works (the queue size is 50 by default), from what I can see/test it works like this: I can set the queue size larger but setting it larger than sysctl kern.ipc.somaxconn has no point. The fact that you get the dmesg message doesn't mean the sysctl is set too low, it's just something freebsd detects. I think the connect/disconnectloop I was testing with just runs slower on the linux machine thus avoiding the problem. On freebsd if I connect & disconnect in a loop (for testing) the number of connection goes up (probably because it's not really closed yet when I do close). The handbook does say: The |kern.ipc.somaxconn| sysctl(8) <http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=sysctl&sektion=8>; variable limits the size of the listen queue for accepting new |TCP| connections. https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/configtuning-kernel-limits.html Thx Bram op 16-09-14 10:08, Adrian Chadd schreef: > Hm, ok.
