1 million tcp connection is that possible? I am not an expert just thinking about the maximum port number how this could be possible ?


You can identify the connection by the local port, remote port, remote IP triplet. That gets you many, many connections.


I believe, also local IP address, as a machine may have multiple network interfaces with different IP addresses. At least it's something that I've read being used for a demo of simultaneous one million network connections.
