Subject: Can I limit the number of tcp connections ?
Date: Tue, 13 Apr 2010 12:16:42 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4BC4529A.4010805@mimc.co.uk> (raw)

Is there any way to limit the # tcp connections under Linux ?

I've tried ...

echo 8 > /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn

... but I can still open 10 ssh sessions, as well as a web server.

I know I could run iptables, but I was looking for a much lower level
solution (with a smaller resource footprint).

Any clues ?

Thanks
Mark
