C10k problem
The C10k problem is the problem of optimizing
The problem of socket server optimisation has been studied because a number of factors must be considered to allow a web server to support many clients. This can involve a combination of operating system constraints and web server software limitations. According to the scope of services to be made available and the capabilities of the operating system as well as hardware considerations such as multi-processing capabilities, a multi-threading model or a
History
The term C10k was coined in 1999 by software engineer Dan Kegel,
By the early 2010s millions of connections on a single commodity 1U rackmount server became possible: over 2 million connections (
Common applications of very high numbers of connections include general public servers that have to serve thousands or even millions of users at a time, such as file servers, FTP servers, proxy servers, web servers, and load balancers.[9][5]

And computers are big, too. You can buy a 500MHz machine with 1 gigabyte of RAM and six 100Mbit/sec Ethernet card for $3000 or so. Let's see - at 10000 clients, that's 50KHz, 100Kbytes, and 60Kbits/sec per client. It shouldn't take any more horsepower than that to take four kilobytes from the disk and send them to the network once a second for each of ten thousand clients. (That works out to $0.30 per client, by the way. Those $100/client licensing fees some operating systems charge are starting to look a little heavy!) So hardware is no longer the bottleneck.
