java获取mosquitto连接数,MQTT mosquitto linux的连接数限制

How are users getting past a 1024 connection limit in Linux in association with doing MQTT for push notification?

I am using Mosquitto server, which I think I read does not have a 1024 connection limit built into the linux version. So, can I use a single server (no bridging etc) and get 5,000, 10,000+ users?

Or, do I absolutely need bridging? I haven't seen a lot of writing on how this is setup other than the config settings man page for mosquitto.

Or, can I get by with just modify a few linux configuration settings and I'm good to go with a single mosquitto server?

My app is more or less an instant messaging app, so I expect to have ~10,000 maybe even 20,000 people using it with permanent 24/7 connections to mosquitto to alert them of messages.

Hmmm

In theory you could up the Linux setting for max number of sockets for mosquitto to what you need. The question then is around performance. The key metric is number of messages per second total. If you have 20k clients connected, how many will be active and how many messages will each be sending?

As an example, if half of your clients are active and sending 1 message per second, there are 10k msps - incoming only of course. If each of those messages is 10 bytes, you're at a sustained 100kB/s or 800kbps.

Another aspect is how your topic hierarchy is arranged. I can't tell you what is best, but it will certainly have an effect.

My best suggestion would be to write a client that simulates a real person, then use it to so real testing of your scenario.

I have seen examples of extreme client count: http://bit.ly/HytRpK but have no more details.

One final point: IBM are currently producing a redbook on MQTT. It should be available 'in spring', i.e. soon. I think it will cover scaling issues.
