| Hi folks
I have a project where our software would have to act as a modified HTTP proxy with transcoding and conversion functionality built in. I'm not too concerned about the CPU load right now as we can spread the load among multiple machines but it would then require a load balancer which has the same limits as below.
We expect to handle 2'000 sessions per second. As those imply an incoming and a outgoing socket, we end up with 4000 sockets per second. Given those session will stay for some seconds or might even half an hour in the case of streaming content, I fear we do run into limits of the kernel very quickly in the terms of maximum open files or sockets.
Can anyone shed a light on what those soft/hard limits in the current MacOS X Server implementations are and how to change them by sysctl or by recompilation of kernel or if would be smarter to use Linux for that?
