- * Maximum number of SYN_RECV sockets in queue per LISTEN socket.
- * One SYN_RECV socket costs about 80bytes on a 32bit machine.
- * It would be better to replace it with a global counter for all sockets
- * but then some measure against one socket starving all other sockets
- * would be needed.
- *
- * It was 128 by default. Experiments with real servers show, that
- * it is absolutely not enough even at 100conn/sec. 256 cures most
- * of problems. This value is adjusted to 128 for very small machines
- * (<=32Mb of memory) and to 1024 on normal or better ones (>=256Mb).
- * Further increasing requires to change hash table size.
