Hello,
I heard that openldap is limited to 1024 concurrent ldap-connections
from clients, while other directory servers can handle
millions of them. Is this true?
Not true. No single instance of a network service running on any
operating system available today can handle millions of concurrent
connections.
Traditional UNIX I/O mechanisms start to really slow down accepting new
connections once you hit the ~4k mark. New I/O mechanisms such as
epoll() can help, if e.g. a good number of the concurrent connections
are idle.
