Ca. 1981, if memory serves, having even small numbers

was not common.
I was told at some point that Sun used UDP for NFS for that reason. It was
a reasonably big deal when we started to move to TCP for NFS ca 1990 (my
memory of the date -- I know I did it on my own for SunOS as an experiment
when I worked at the SRC -- it seemed to come into general use about that
time).
What kind of numbers for TCP connections would be reasonable in 1980, 90,
2000, 2010?
Normal systems: 10s, 100s, 1000s, 10ks. Depends on what is a reasonable
system...
With the high end 10x or 100x that or a bit more.
These days we do 100ks of video streams at work on our high end boxes...

I sort of think I know, but I sort of think I'm probably wrong.
