Sockets seem to be blocking

[fsandel]

As a serveradmin I want a sturdy server that is able lots of requests from different sources and not block them if to many requests got send in the last time.

what happened

when trying to siege our webserver with 1000 requests from 25 clients at one point the server doesnt serve the request as fast as they come in anymore and it seems to be blocking.

what to do

• find the exact point and reason when and why our server starts blocking the request (by sieging it)
• solve the issue (maybe by unblocking the sockets)

definition of done

• our server can take lots of requests from outside and is able to maintain a constant speed with slowing down really hard at some point

It seems the first block starts after 16k requests

Problem seems to happen due to siege stopping at ~16k, same problem at nginx, but lets still have an eye on it
