I am using a server with Centos 6.5 64 bits Kernel 2.6.32 and 64 GB RAM and 12 threads cores, and I cannot get increase the current connections used in memcache.
This is my STATS output:

My memcached config
# cat /etc/sysconfig/memcached
PORT="11211"
USER="memcached"
MAXCONN="2048"
CACHESIZE="16384"
OPTIONS="-t 12 -l 127.0.0.1"
The current server has more than 6k-7k access per second, so it is not a problem with few users and it is only connecting 64 to memcache connections.
Which parameter do I change for increasing STAT curr_connections 64 to upper limit?
