Problem statement  :  3-tier or 2-tier  server centric applications 

                              given the context of a client and server
 
                                                  as is evident the bottle-necks of  processing power ...servers (no of clients at any
                                                  given point of time) ....the interpretable context of  sessions
                   
 investigative analysis:   a mostly ignored or unpaid attention to is that of  no of  open-descriptors or open file-handles
                                 in the context of a operating-system ....its relevance to concurrent sessions or clients a server
                                 can handle ??

Opportunity :

                           a)    ...by fine-tuning this variable of 'open-descriptor or  open-file handles' significant
                                 performance gains can be achieved  
                          b)    ability arrive at correlatable figure for a) based on the processing powers.    

                         c)    thus  a judicious decision of server-side sessions ...either file-system based or
                               a database-based  

                        d)   a error or bug at the tcp/ip stack level , if not tackled aptly can project or potray a false-notion
                             of ....bandwidth  or http error ...say server busy??  ...given that clients inability to negotiate
                             with server ....scope for a network diagnoistic tool or utility to achieve the same on the lines
                             of  solaris-OS's  'ndd' utility ??          

Note: The above problem statement having been encountered in various scenarios
      and detailed in various 'Proof of concepts' as mentioned in 
      
       http://uk.geocities.com/ravivenkatus/projects.pdf
       http://ravishankarkv.tripod.com/projects.pdf
        ....apply appropriate
      'use-case' modeling, rationalize and arrive at a workable and feasible 
       solution both commercially and techinically viable.
