title: Which is the maximum number of Windows concurrent tcp/ip connections?
body: <p>In .NET I have already tried the configuration below successfully:</p>
  
  <pre><code>  &lt;system.net&gt;
      &lt;connectionManagement&gt;
        &lt;add address="*" maxconnection="100"/&gt;
      &lt;/connectionManagement&gt;
    &lt;/system.net&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Using 100 concurrent HttpWebRequest they answered almost simultaneously (less than a second).</p>
  
  <p>I wonder why some people wrote in some forums that Windows XP and Windows Server 2008 limits this number to 15 or 20. They are right?</p>
