I implemented a simple echo server in Elixir, repo is here GitHub - cj1128/echo_server.

When I test it using echo hello | nc localhost 4100, everything is fine.

But when I use a custom client which concurrently starts 10 connections, I got below error, so confused.

13:25:12.299 [error] Task #PID<0.108.0> started from #PID<0.95.0> terminating

I tried

• sysctl kern.ipc.somaxconn=1000 increase TCP queue size
• Add an accept pool, so multiple processes are accepting connections

none of them worked, still got those errors.
