FW: TCP stack throughput

[Ulf Wiger (AL/EAB)]

With {backlog, 1024}, I could do 500 clients on Solaris.
Increasing the connect() timeout to 60 seconds, I could
just barely manage 900. No connections refused or reset.

On Windows 2000, the large backlog enabled 50 clients, but
100 was too much. Lots of 'econnrefused'.

Have you tried to increase the backlog of the listening socket? It defaults 
to 5 and you could increase it by using {backlog, 100} option (could be 
other than 100) in gen_tcp:listen/2 -function?

I haven't tested it, but just a quick idea.

See listen/2 function at
http://erlang.se/doc/doc-5.4.8/lib/kernel-2.10.9/doc/html/index.html

Hopefully works.
