the big question is not about ports
the big question would be, how many paralell connections, or in other words, sockets are you able to open at once...
these things are given by sysctl parameters for example... there are other ways too, but thats the most common one...
a hot tip for all ppls who try to program networked tools/programs/libs...
*please* close your sockets, if you no longer need them *explicitely*

I was interested to know how many ports can be opened on Fedora Linux FC4. I
did an experiment. I wrote a server program that accepts TCP connections and
a client program that keeps connecting to the Server port.
Guess the results? The server program can have about 1020 port maximum only.
Is that not low for a server expected to be used by millions. Windows XP
professional with SP2 can open about 3000 ports maximum.
