The company I work for has a product called ConferenceRoom that is an
IRC server. On NT we have no problem sustaining 10,000 concurrent TCP
connections to a single process. The best we have ever done with any UNIX is
about 5,500. As soon as we add in port exploders though (which are a good
idea for NT anyway), we should be able to get parity between the two
platforms again.
