Just consider what BOPM is doing for a second, it is scanning
several ports for each connection the number dependant on how
many ports you have set in the configuration.

Say for example you have 10 ports for each host, this is 3670
ports per minute. The default timeout is 30 seconds and say
for example half of all connections have a drop all firewall
(no idea how realistic that is), you could assume that a single
connection will stay around for about 15 seconds. This means a
scanner needs just over 900 fds to even have a hope of keeping up with
your load.

I'm of course assuming you have been quite conservative here
and are only scanning 10 ports on each host.

The output of fdstat interesting to see as well as knowing how you
have BOPM setup..
