It is. You are saturating the port space, so no new POLLIN/accept events
are sent (until some TIME_WAIT clears), so epoll_wait() returns nothing
(or does not return, if INF timeo).
Keeping only 1K (if this is what you meant with your *only* 1K)
connections *alive*, does not mean the trail that does moving 1K
connections leave, is free.
If you ever played with things like httperf, you should know what I'm
talking about.
