Concurrent outbound half-open connections limit in SP2

I've a question:

Having read this: http://www.speedguide.net/read_articles.php?id=1497
and this article by a spanish MS MVP:
http://www.multingles.net/docs/jmt/sp2_p2p.htm (just skip to the part
where he says: "limita a 10 el número de apertura de sockets salientes
POR SEGUNDO siempre y cuando sean además AL MISMO PUERTO DESTINO" =
limits to 10 the number of open outbound sockets per second, IF they
are all going to the same destiny port).

Is that assertion true? 'Cause Microsoft's Technet article only says:
"The TCP/IP stack now limits the number of simultaneous incomplete
outbound TCP connection attempts. After the limit has been reached,
subsequent connection attempts are put in a queue and will be resolved
at a fixed rate. Under normal operation, when applications are
connecting to available hosts at valid IP addresses, no connection
rate-limiting will occur. When it does occur, a new event, with ID
4226, appears in the system's event log." (
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/maintain/sp2netwk.mspx
)
Where do they say it's 10 "per second"? "per second" = "simultaneus"?
Does it mean that you can have 10 outbound half-open connections at
second number 1, and 10 more at second number 2, and so on? And if they
don't go to the same port, say... 5 half-open connections are going to
port 14444 and other 5 are going to 15555, and other 5 are going to
16666, and 5 more to 17777, all in the same 'second'? That would give
us 20 half-open connections at the same second...? Is that how it
works?
Someone please enlighten me. Thanks in advance.
