Re: [igraph] Limits on graph size ?

[Gábor Csárdi]

Yeah, basically both the number of vertices and edges must be less
than the largest number you can represent in a 'long int', that is
normally more than 2 billion for 32 bit machines, so I think memory
size is more limiting nowadays.

To suggest anything useful you must tell us what exactly you're trying to do.
