[Spread-users] Spread's maximums

[John Schultz]

On the number of daemons in a configuration there is a soft limit of 30-40 
daemons for a well functioning system and a hard limit of, I believe 128, 
daemons.

On the number of clients per daemon, daemons use select() I/O loops to 
handle clients.  So, how ever many file descriptors your system's select() 
supports is how many clients Spread can handle.  This number is typically 
a bit under 1000 as a maximum.

On the number of groups in the system, I believe this is limited only by 
the memory available to Spread.  We have performed tests with hundreds of 
thousands of groups.

On the maximum number of members per group, the only limit of which I am 
aware is the reporting of membership messages.  By default, messages have 
a max size of around 100K and member names are 32 bytes long.  So, I would 
think a group couldn't be bigger than about 3000 members.

Cheers!
