ONE MILLION! (2011)

I bet that's an effective job ad. I have no idea of the significance of this news. (But I'm glad to hear Erlang is/was still in use.)

Curious, this article seems to be translated (properly, not automatically) for me.

1 million tcp connection is that possible? I am not an expert just thinking about the maximum port number how this could be possible ?

What are the factors that made this a hard problem? Isn&#x27;t having 1,000,000 open TCP connections kind of similar to having a 1,000,000 row key-value database? As long as it fits in RAM it doesn&#x27;t seem too terrible.<p>You could even do the TCP protocol in userspace and literally use a key-value database to store all state, I think.

Naive question, is freebsd actually a big factor in this capability (compared to linux)? I&#x27;d imagine that erlang(&#x2F;beam) is the biggest contributing factor. But this is coming from someone who hasn&#x27;t used freebsd
