Subject: TCP session management

Hi

I am interested in learning about highly practiced/recommended
algorithms used for TCP session management in the stack. I am writing
code for an embedded processor which needs to process TCP/IP flows and
it does not have the stack. I am interested in implementing most
efficient algorithm to maintain/lookup about 5 million full duplex TCP
sessions.

Any ideas, pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Nauman

Hi

Not sure what are your needs...

Linux has no particular problems handling 5 million councurrent tcp
sessions, granted you have enough memory.

What do you mean by "it does not have the stack" ?
