Multi-shot Accept Backlog Concern

question 2 connections

Audience member asked whether multi-shot accept on a listening socket risks committing to too many in-flight TCP connections, exhausting file descriptors with something like 100,000 active connections, even if the listen() backlog is set low. Sharon suggested the listen backlog size could cap it but wasn't sure and said it needs to be investigated.
