However, I do agree with Stefan, that a million threads is probably not the

Telco land has needs for enormous amounts of concurrency.  Have a look
at Erlang (http://www.erlang.org/) for one way of dealing with that.

Yours was the first on-topic reply, although I suppose I should have given more details if I was expecting on-topic repies. Yes, I am (aiming at) simulating 1 million voip clients, each placing a phonecall from time to time (maybe you 'guessed' by
looking at the email address ?).

And the reason I (assumed I) needed one thread per client was because I needed to be able to express client behaviour in a natural way (Lua coroutines + an event
loop being a good candidate for doing this).
