RE: Linux kernel 2.4 and TCP terminations per second.

[Imran Badr]

I am running openssl with apache using modssl. I will have to look at
whether could I use openssl with TUX or zeus.

Thanks.

If you are running any kind of high performance connections/second load then
you dont run apache. That isnt what apache is good at

thttpd will do 2000/sec on a decent box. zeus (non free) more, and tux
(kernel http accelerator) holds some records
