But you have threads, memory, io and tcp/ip bottlenecks on a system. To find out what those limits are try to push the limit on your system. Make small working test and scale it up until it starts failing..while you know the server sided limit ofcourse :) but I have also run into DDOS protections on some networks ;-) | |

| Jul 16, 2015 at 17:18 | comment | added | kirbycope | I tested how many users I could get per core and it's about 500 (test on Windows and Mac). So I could get about 2k users per machine. You'll need to spread out the load as this answer points out. | |
