Where does this limit come from?
You think there is something magic about 64K local ports, but if remote IP addresses in the TCP socket IDs are all different, number of possible TCP sockets is only limited by "number of client IPs * 64K" and ram :-) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
