Question on socket usage

Server NGINX
1

Hi,

I am new to nginx. I was wondering if nginx uses one server-side socket
for
each
connection request. That is if there are 100 http connections
simultaneously active
tp an nginx server would there be 100 sockets in use in nginx?
Thanks, Andy

Yes, you are right.

In case if request proxied by nginx to upstream, take in account sockets
used by
upstream connections too.

If you wan to tune max sockets limit in OS, don’t forget about sockets
in
TIME_WAIT state - this connections closed in nginx, but usually
accounted in OS
limits.
