Only 4 simultaneous socket connections?

Hi,

I'm using the libevent event library to implement a kind of relay server application in C on Linux. During testing (using http-load) I tried to make 10 simultaenous connections to the relay server. The server only accepts 4 simultaneous connections, after which there is a short delay before accepting the remaining connections.

Is there any reason why I would only be able to accept 4 simultaneous connections instantly and then have to wait?
