There is no limit in tinc itself. However, each known node uses a few kilobytes
of memory (worst case), and by default you can only have 1024 open
filedescriptors, which limits the amount of nodes that you can ConnectTo. So if
you have a star topology, the central node can only maintain meta connections
with approximately 1000 nodes. This does not affect UDP communication though.
