SOMAXCONN is /proc/sys/net/core/somaxconn default value. It has been defined as 128 more than 20 years ago. Since it caps the listen() backlog values, the very small value has caused numerous problems over the years, and many people had to raise it on their hosts after beeing hit by problems. Google has been using 1024 for at least 15 years, and we increased this to 4096 after TCP listener rework has been completed, more than 4 years ago. We got no complain of this change breaking any legacy application. Many applications indeed setup a TCP listener with listen(fd, -1); meaning they let the system select the backlog. Raising SOMAXCONN lowers chance of the port being unavailable under even small SYNFLOOD attack, and reduces possibilities of side channel vulnerabilities.
