is it possibile to set the maximum number of sockets that my server can handle? Something like: maxSocket = 2 and from the 3 attempt of a socket to connect automatically refuse that connection?
Thanks

I forgot to mention that I already have a counter in my server app, and whenever a client connects succesfully, check that counter and if needed manually call socket.disconnect(). I wonder if there is a more efficient solution.neo87– neo872018-10-09 13:44:28 +00:00Commented Oct 9, 2018 at 13:44

In Node.js, you can set the maximum number of connections per origin. If maxSockets is set, the low-level HTTP client queues requests and assigns them to sockets as they become available.
According to Node.js Doc,
By default set to Infinity. Determines how many concurrent sockets the agent can have open per origin. Origin is either a 'host:port' or 'host:port:localAddress' combination.
Conventionally, they recommend 25~50, I guess.

The default maxSockets value is Infinity and it determines the limit of number of sockets per host. See official docs: https://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_agent_maxsockets
You can manually set maxSockets limit using the following code snippet
require('http').globalAgent.maxSockets = 10
globalAgent: Global instance of Agent which is used as the default for all HTTP client requests.
