Suppose: 1. An apache web server serves a very big iso file. 2. 5000 people tried to connect to the apache server to get the iso file. 3. They connect to the server gradually (not 5000 people starting at the same moment). So that there will not be a problem caused by the TCP backlog limit. 4. There will be 5000 established TCP connections. Is it true that FreeBSD could handle 'unlimited' established TCP connections as long as it has enough CPU power and memory?
