[erlang-questions] how to limit number of connections to gen_tcp?

[Alin Popa]

Hi Jarrod,

Something like this might help you:
*
-define(MAX_TCP_CONNECTIONS, 1000).
-define(TCP_OPTIONS, [binary, {packet, 0}, {active, false}, {reuseaddr,
true}, {backlog, ?MAX_TCP_CONNECTIONS}]).

listen(Port, F) ->
     {ok, LSocket} = gen_tcp:listen(Port, ?TCP_OPTIONS),
     accept(LSocket, F).

.............*

Hope this is what you are looking for ...
