How to learn physical limits for a server ?
Hi All, First of all I want to congratulate your new year, Happ New Years.. I wonder where can I learn limits for a server ? I wonder whether there is a limit for concurrent tcp conne...

Hi Johny,
> I am only asking just for solely servers physical limits.
Sorry if I missed something, but for me your question sounds like "how speedy an engine can make a car?". Obviously, this depends on how well the engine itself is tuned, what gear-box is used, what is the aerodynamic quality of the body, etc.
Likewise, the server limits obviously depend on its hardware.
TCP is just a transmission protocol that is useless without a consumer and the obtained packet will be thrown away by OS if not processed by this consumer. This makes it obvious that the limits depend on the software. The limits will be higher if you have only server's core with a ping service, but will be lower if the server also handles other services and GUI.
That is why I would agree with Jared that, like in the mentioned thread, you must elaborate the *unambiguous and measurable* requirements first and than consider how and what to measure.
