How many concurrent TCP connection can one instance have

Posted on August 19, 2013

Hi. I would like a host an application that can potentially have lots of concurrent TCP connections (say, about 5000 to 10,000), wonder if it’s supported.

Thanks.

What kind of CPU/memory power do 5,000 to 10,000 connections require?

I’m curious, what app are you hosting that requires that much concurrent connections?
