The C10k problem is the name given to a limitation that most web servers currently have which limits the web servers capabilities to only handle about ten thousand simultaneous connections. This limitation is partly to operating system constraints and software limitations. While there are some specialized web servers that can handle more than ten thousand client connections. most web servers currently handle at most ten thousand clients simultaneously.
