Velobahn by Akamba...

[Stephen D. Williams]

Cool, something I felt strongly about last year was building a TCP
connection concentrator, although my idea is quite a bit different.

I note however that it only handles 500 connections/sec. and 2000
simultaneous connections max.  It's also only 400% faster which makes me
wonder how it compares to Tux numbers.

Interesting anyway.
