Re: [boost] ASIO TCP socket scalability for large scale connections

I've managed 100,000 simultaneous tcp connections to a c++ server using boost::beast/asio on an appropriately configured fedora linux host. ASIO's memory overhead is minimal if written nicely. On Sun, 23 Dec 2018 at 01:06, Vinnie Falco via Boost wrote:

What will be the maximum connections a single ASIO TCP socket server can handle?

Asio doesn't contain magic or reinvent the wheel here, `basic_socket` is a very thin abstraction over a file handle representing a socket. You need to look to the limits of your operating system and configuration to know the baseline limit. And of course subtract from that any additional per-connection resources that your application uses.
