The limiting factor is the number of dynamic DDP sockets that can be
opened. CAP supports the normal dynamic socket range of 128 through 254.

Each CAP server (aufs, lwsrv etc) will consume one socket, each server
child process (aufs session) consumes another. Total per CAP *HOST*: 127.

How well this load is supported depends a lot on your base hardware.
There is also a limit on the number of NBP entities you can register
(IE: number of advertised servers). In CAP 6.0 this is currently 30.
