With apologies for "snipping", and disclaimer that I am not an nginx
developer, only a long term user.

So, MMAP has given you "preliminary" analysis of what your kernel can do
with your hardware. Would you care to share, in a meaningful manner, any
results that you feel are relevant to any tcp processes - perhaps nginx
in particular?

Available bandwidth? Please define. Is this local, or WAN? Are you on a
56k dial-up modem? or do you have multiple fail-over, load-balanced
fibre connectivity? MMAP to the best of my knowledge, never claimed to
be able to simulate live (live in the sense 'externally processed IP')
tcp/http connections, so what "recognized benchmark" did you max out?

Could Nginx be improved in a similar way?

"improved"? From what and to what? Starting point? End-point? Similar to
what "way"?

You write (below) "a large number of small pages to a large number of
clients..." Large number? 10 to what exponential? I've just looked at
an nginx server that has dealt with ~88.3 GB/sec over the last few
minutes, and cpu usage across 32 cores is bumbling along at less that
3%, temperatures barely 3 degrees above ambient, memcached transferring
nothing to swap.

Either you have badly explained what you are looking for, or, heaven
forfend, you're trolling.

Paul.
Tired old sys-admin.
