Takes all the connections. Doesn't give them back.
hog is a testing tool for finding how many simultaneous TCP connections a
service will accept.
With go get:
go get github.com/redbubble/hog
hog --target 192.168.0.1 --port 80 --limit 1000
Where:
targetis the hostname or IP of the target service. Default: 0.0.0.0.portis the port of the target service. Default: 80.limitis the maximum number of simultaneous connections to be attempted. Default: 100.
hog is limited by the number of files that the executing system is allowed to
open. One connection consumes one file descriptor.
On Unix-y systems, you can run ulimit -n to find out how many file descriptors
your system is allowed to consume.
This limit can generally be increased, but the method will vary depending on your OS. It's likely that you'll need admin access to increase the limit.
