>Hey, shouldn't this be a MIB variable, anyway?? No, not really. It's not important enough for that. The maximum needs to be high enough so that programs can specify reasnable backlog limits to listen(2) to not throw out new connection requests, ...and now it is. (and changing the subject somewhat) sysctl isn't really designed to be very easily extensible. It would be nice if *hundreds* of things could be tuned, but the current structure really makes that impractical. The whole thing should be tossed out and rewritten. -DG
