I've opened 40,000 connections to/from my machine (over external interfaces)
on a slightly hacked .31 kernel.  This is 80,000 sockets total.  I bind
to local IP and port range, as well as SO_BINDTODEVICE.

I'm using a 64-bit system with 12GB of RAM, quad-core i7 3.3Ghz, etc.

It takes a lot of RAM to do this but you can probably use less RAM in user-space
than I am.  Be sure to set your socket buffer sizes small.

Thanks,
Ben
