(1999)?
- wging 13y agoArguably (2009) at the earliest. Was certainly originally written earlier but it seems like something of a living document. The first sentence after the table of contents is: "See Nick Black's execellent Fast UNIX Servers page for a circa-2009 look at the situation."
- jleader 13y agoIf you scroll down to the bottom, there's a changelog describing some changes applied during 2003-2011, and then "Copyright 1999-2014", which might give a few clues about how old the document is.
- vangale 13y agoI was definitely using this page as a resource in 2000-2001. I was going to try and use Python Medusa module (precursor of Twisted) to scale connections.
- Aloisius 13y agoMmm. It has been updated over the years, but of course, 10K was relatively easy even back then. For fun one day, I turned off the search index on one of the production machines and hit over 90K at Napster without much trouble (production ran at ~36K). And that was on little dual processor Pentium 2 machines.
- lugg 13y agoIf you dont have a blog I think you should blog some stories from those days. I'd be really interested to hear them.
- mturmon 13y agoYes, here is the original 1999 snapshot. It has been updated a bunch over the years. http://web.archive.org/web/19990508164301/http://www.kegel.com/c10k.html http://web.archive.org/web/19990508164301/http://www.kegel.c... I think Dan wrote this page originally when he was at Disappearing, Inc. Later he was at Google (2004-10).
