Anyone can fake up a demo

100,000 connections with an 8K window (minimum to be sane and all the clients
being awkward- which is a requirement for a non lab assumption)

100000 * 8192 (ignoring OS socket buffer overhead)

is about 800Mb of memory for network buffers.

So a 2Gig Linux box should be just fine.
