Summary

This article explains the maximum number of connections to a single WAVE Server.

In multi-server systems, consider the number of Desktop Clients and the number of devices on each server to avoid bottlenecks.

Connection Calculation

A WAVE Server supports up to 2000 concurrent TCP connections. This limit determines how many Desktop Clients can connect to a server.

Use the following metrics and formulas to calculate the maximum number of Desktop Client connections to a single server in a system:

• Each Desktop Client connecting to the server = 5 TCP connections
   
• Each device being viewed in Desktop Client = 1 TCP connection
   
• Max Clients = 5 x (total number of clients) + (average # of devices per client x total number of clients)
  
  Max Clients = 400 Desktop Clients w/ no displayed devices
  Max Clients = 80 Desktop Clients with an average of 20 devices displayed per client
  Max Clients = 28 Desktop Clients with 64 devices displayed per client
