They are TCP socekts.  I have my file-max at 1 Million
files, and ulimit the same.

Port space is unique for a protocol (i.e.: TCP or UDP)
across a host, independent of interfaces.



That really looks like a bug or mis-feature to me.  Why
would we want this limitation?  What would be the problems
with fixing it to be per-local-interface?




If this is true then it looks like I'll have to get more hosts. However logically speaking I would have thought each LAN interface would have it's own TCP port space. Thanks for the advice.


thanks,
