[OpenIndiana-discuss] Max limit of UDP sockets per Physical Machine

[Till Wegmueller]

Hello All

I am starting a development Job on a Game server which will need massive 
of players on the same server. For Games this is usually UDP. So I am 
now looking at the Best way to have a Network Architecture to achieve 
this. Leaving other limitations aside and asuming a unix based server as 
Host of the server process, what socket limitations will I hit with 
illumos? Let's assume the following situation. A Client moves in the 
world and updates the server about that. The server then needs to 
publish That information to every client. If I have one bi-directional 
socket open for every client I will hit a limit I guess. What are the 
limits for sockets in illumos?

Thanks for any info
