For real server work the defacto sysctl_somaxconn limit seems inadequate:

    Experiments with real servers show, that it is absolutely not enough
    even at 100conn/sec. 256 cures most of problems.

Absolutely no context is provided for this number.

What's the RTT?  How fast are the cpus?  etc.

You must tell the whole story in order to justify these changes
properly.
