Open TCP session

[naveen2512]

I am getting the relatively high number of open TCP session, can anyone please help me understand how can I increase the limit and is it safe to increase it, depending on server resources.

Total: 1079 (kernel 1593)
TCP: 40140 (estab 283, closed 39387, orphaned 0, synrecv 0, timewait 39386/0), ports 0
Transport Total IP IPv6
* 1593 - -
RAW 0 0 0
UDP 13 8 5
TCP 753 14 739
INET 766 22 744
FRAG 0 0 0

I don't know enough to answer your question but, in case the TCP connections made are way too many, check whether you support persistent connections (Keep-Alive) at the moment. Happened to me lately and kept connections on humongus numbers.
