Dan Kegel’s C10k site was 1999, wasn’t it? That’s probably a decent data point for c.2000

Ca. 1981, if memory serves, having even small numbers of TCP connections 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?
I sort of think I know, but I sort of think I'm probably wrong.
