Janus Sockets

Introduced

Before Sirius Mods 6.7

This parameter specifies the maximum total number of sockets a user may use at any time (one of these is reserved for the server socket number 1, whether the user is a server socket program or not). The default for SOCKMAX is 10, which allows 9 client socket numbers to be in use. The minimum value for SOCKMAX is 2, and the maximum value is 88. SOCKMAX affects storage allocation for each user who is using any sockets — each such user has allocated 6 + (6 * SOCKMAX) bytes (rounded up to a multiple of 4). In addition, each open socket over a Janus Sockets port increases the storage requirement by 960 bytes plus the value of the IBSIZE and OBSIZE parameters. Note the distinction between this Model 204 system parameter and SOCKPMAX.
