Each socket needs a file descriptor. There are two things you need to
configure:

CYGPKG_IO_NFILE
CYGNUM_FILEIO_NFD

By default these are 16, so you have a maximum of 16 open sockets and
files.

Both stacks come from the Unix world, so the stacks themselves should
have no practical limit. Memory is probably you limitation.
