[pox-dev] how to make recoco support more than 1024 fds?

[Murphy McCauley]

There's no commandline argument for it.  It's not really a supported configuration since as far as I know, there aren't very many use cases (indeed, the only people I know of for whom it has been important are the STS guys).  I wouldn't even swear that it works on current versions!  But you can certainly try it (and if it doesn't work, I may be able to help get it working again).

To switch to it, modify core.py.  Around line 198 is:
self.scheduler = recoco.Scheduler(daemon=True)

Change this to:
self.scheduler = recoco.Scheduler(daemon=True, useEpoll=True)

.. and I think that should do it.
