How many simultaneous https conections ... ?

[slulchev]

Hello all,

Could you tell me how SSL modules are needed for handling twenty thousand HTTPS simultaneous connections (for e-invoices services)? I read that one ssl module can handling eight hundred transactions per second and twenty thousand simultaneous SSL sessions per module, but I can not understand the difference.

At the moment I have two CSS11503 devices without ssl modules.

Thanks !

an open connection, even inactive requires some memory.

That's the 20k limit.

An active connection will require CPU.

That's the 800 transactions limit.

So, you can have 20k connection alive, but if they are all very active, the users may experience delay.

I think 2 modules would be better but 1 could be enough.

Gilles.
