Concurrent SSL Handshakes causes threads to stay busy for long time - resulting timeout

[The-Robin-Hood]

Upon establishing 1,000 concurrent WebSocket connections, the initial 400 connections are successfully established. However, due to a delay in the SSL handshake, the remaining WebSockets time out.

Steps to reproduce :
This happens in even minimal-ws-server
Make a concurrent connection to that server (min 500) - and keep adding clients

What do you think should happen about that?

Is there any way to create multiple context ?? After a threshold ?

[lws-team]

You can create multiple contexts, for example just by creating multiple processes.

Each process will have its own event loop thread.
