What Hacker News says?
A quick search shows that the problem has been shifted to tackle the so called C10M problem, with C1M/second. That was couple years ago. Not sure what the current state is. http://highscalability.com/blog/2013/5/13/the-secret-to-10-m... https://mrotaru.wordpress.com/2015/05/20/how-migratorydata-s...

on “10M Concurrent Websockets”For real-time webapps when you need minimum latency updates, Meteor is a dream. IoT, GPS tracking, messaging apps and stockmarket trading apps are all well suited to being implemented in Meteor. DDP is a simple protocol that runs on top of WebSockets, which runs over TCP. Back in 2013, someone achieved 12 million concurrent WebSocket connections on a commodity server. There is no reason why Meteor should not be able…
