I recently returned to Ireland from Oz (why would you do that I here people
ask ?)
I work for a Silicon Valley startup (www.alteon.com) , but I'm based in
Ireland, which is a great arrangement :)(my employer makes Gigabit Nics and
Switches and we have quite a few large Dell servers with Gigabit NICS in our
labs which leads into my question
Does anyone have pointers or recommendations for sources of info on
tuning the networking side of linux, specifically I'm interested in getting
Linux to support very large numbers of simultaneous connections, the specific
requirement is to build a very large Linux Cache/Proxy server, I can get it
to about 800/900 simult connections on Polygraph (polygraph.nlanr.net I
think). However the FreeBsd guys at work are still ahead so I need a few more
pointers, esp if anyone knows what the state of play is in the development
kernels as far as networking goes.
I'm also interested in the caching side of things, plus the beer drinking
side of things
Also can anyone recommend a pc supplies place, I'm looking for cases and
fiddly little things like the spacers you need when installing a motherboard
and I'm hoping their is somewhere else apart from Peats.
Cheers,
Jonathan Barry
