How many TCP connections can Ruby deal with?

I have a 开发者_Go百科general ubuntu server, and I want to use Ruby to deal with many TCP requests, I want to know how many connections it can handle.

A single Ruby process can handle as many connections as the machine/ubuntu will allow the ruby process. This is a process limitation that is managed by the linux kernel. Use ulimit to increase file descriptors and you can have more socket connections. You will also need memory to handle a large number of connections and you may need to tune tcp settings.

Ruby is merely a language. Do you mean a web server running Ruby code? Then that really depends on the environment it's on, it's configuration, etc.
