Does WinXP limit the number of network connection for a process?

[John]

Hello to all,
I conducted some load tests upon my web server, the testing client is
designed in multi-thread fasion to simulate concurrent requests.
However, I found no matter how many threads are running at the same
time, the concurrent connections to that URL are no more than 10. But
if I run it with multiple processes, the total connections can exceed
10.
Does WinXP limit the number of network connection for a process?
Thanks for any comment.

WinXP Pro is limited to 10 connections, period. It doesn't matter
whether the connections are used by a process, application, or another
computer.

That's not the same thing at all as the OP was asking about.......

there is a patch (unsupported by MS) that can increase the number of
connections

Dont go over 100 though...

That refers to unresolved outbound TCP connections froman XP host. It
won't do any good. There is no way to increase the number of inbound
connections to an XP host beyond ten. Even if there was it would violate
the EULA.

If you can imagine it, it is possible.

I don't need to, I know. It has nothing to do with inbound connections
to an XP host. The limit of ten is an inherent and intentional limit.
The only way to safely and legitimately increase it is to use a server OS.

I am sure there is a way....

Of course it would violate EULA..... so?
