I want to add hardware load balancer for apache and I want to know how many people are connected to my server to to choose the type of load balancer:

  • Local Load Balancing with SSL - 250 Connections
  • Local Load Balancing with SSL - 500 Connections
  • Local Load Balancing with SSL - 1000 Connections

I run the following commands in the same time:

netstat -nt|grep -c :443 ( all connection wait and ESTABLISHED)
result : 1208

netstat -ant | grep 443 | grep EST | wc -l ( just ESTABLISHED connection)
result :106

My question: Whichever is the correct value to choose the load balancer all connection or just ESTABLISHED ?
