----------------------------------+--------------------------------
 There is documentation in the Tor manual about how to alleviate the
 problem of constrained socket memory (ConstrainedSockets,
 ConstrainedSockSize), but not about a restricted number of sockets.

 The problem of a restricted number of TCP sockets is particularly acute in
 OpenVZ VPSs. A vendor may offer a great deal of bandwidth, but then
 restrict the practical use of it by imposing a low limit on the number of
 sockets in use.

 So... how do I tell my relay to use no more than n TCP sockets?
