We are trying to determine the absolute maximum amount of simultaneous
connections a FreeBSD machine can handle under the worst conditions.
Transmissions would encompass one port, around 512 bytes of data, and
handled by a custom daemon. The machines would be of the following
configuration:
K62-350
256mb RAM
Ultra Wide Scsi Disks
512k Cache
PCI 100mbit ethernet
We have no idea what the FreeBSD operating system itself can handle (either
3.0 or a 2.2.X variant) and don't really have a way to test at this point.
We need to find out the number of machines it would require to service a
pre-determined amount of connections assuming we had the bandwidth and
resources to support it.
Can anyone also tell me what I can do to tweak a machine to handle the Max
connections? IE, the kernel config needed (maxusers, somaxconn, etc), and
hardware side.
Thanks..
