Description mark 2001-11-16 18:30:01 UTC
tuning(7) doesn't mention the net.inet.tcp.portange.{first,last}
sysctl tunables and probably ought to as at least one published
benchmark failed because the benchmarkers were unaware of its
existence.

How-To-Repeat: Read the man page and fail to realize that 
net.inet.tcp.portange.{first,last} might need adjustment.

Good point, that probably was the reason the benchmark failed at  
3000 connections. 

I'll commit this patch (with a few additions) soon.

Closed by request, recent changes to tuning(7) covers the port range 
issue nicely.
