Each socket is a descriptor. I guess you need something like:

from limits(1):

     -n [val]  Select or set the openfiles resource limit.  The system-wide
               limit on the maximum number of open files per process can be
               viewed by examining the kern.maxfilesperproc sysctl(8) vari-
               able.  The total number of simultaneously open files in the
               entire system is limited to the value displayed by the
               kern.maxfiles sysctl(8) variable.
