I am sure there are a lot of servers that have much more than 10000 connections that are idle and have some sort of keep alive mechanism turned on (not just http 1.1), even if the time for which the connections are idle be of the order of minutes. Scanning the list now could be time consuming . Wouldnt a timewheel be more generic as it handles all the timers ?
