[Live-devel] Maximum number of client connections Live555 can handle

[Alkassoum Ahmoud]

Hi Ross,

Your where right. My problem was due to an windows OS limitation on the
number of sockets that can be open at any one time. On windows the
FD_SETSIZE parameter have a default value of 64, so with that default value,
the server can only handle 64/2 = 32 clients at the same time ( 2 sockets
per client). So to solve my problem i only had to increase the FD_SETSIZE
parameter.

Thanks for your help

OK, this sounds like you've run into an operating system limit on the 
number of sockets that can be open at any one time.  You should be 
able to reconfigure your OS (somehow, depending on the OS) to 
increase this limit.

(Apparently the Darwin Streaming Server doesn't run into this limit 
(at least, not as easily) because it uses sockets somewhat 
differently from our server (but its way has drawbacks of its own),)
