Not the GP but they might be referring to [0] or one of several other articles you will find if you Google "handle a million connections in *".

Realistically you also usually need to perform some non-trivial work from time to time for some non-trivial portion of those connections, which will further load your server, but still.

Genuinely curious on this—with port numbers only being 16 bits, how is it possible for one machine to ever handle more than 65k concurrent connections?
