Part 1 and Part 2 in this series showed how to build a comet application using mochiweb, and how to route messages to connected users. We managed to squeeze application memory down to 8KB per connection. We did ye olde c10k test, and observed what happened with 10,000 connected users. We made graphs. It was fun, but now it’s time to make good on the claims made in the title, and turn it up to 1m connections.

the next meaningful benchmark might be to serve all internet users in the world from one machine. c1000m?
