Title: iDirect X1/X3/X5 maximum TCP sessions
Post by Mwafrika on Jun 12^th, 2012 at 3:06pm

Hi Guys,
Does anyone have any accurate information on the maximum simultaneous TCP sessions that the iDirect X1/X3 and X5 modems can support? Any other limitations and info not stated by iDirect in the Data Sheets will be highly appreciated.

Hi Mwafrika,

I asked iDirect about this a year ago and I think they stated something about 3K TCP sessions.

A few month back I made a test with X5 and found out that the CPU hits 100% at 900pps rate. From my point of view this limitation is way harder comparing to 3K TCP sessions, and should be used for planning.

Regards,
Anton
