IIS does not limit connections per client. The limit is supposed to be
enforced/respected by the client device.

Otherwise, the users behind a proxy server would find performance terrible
when connecting to an external server, since the external server would see
all the connections as originating from a single IP address.

: Hi,
:
: We are developing a browser based application in LAN environment. The
: ASP.NET (1.1) web site is hosted in IIS 5.0 that is accessed from
: Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1.
:
: Server: Win2k Server SP4, IIS 5.0., ASP.NET 1.1
: Client: Win2k client SP4, IE 6.0 SP1
:
: Recently we faced a situation in some machines where IE suddenly used
: to get hang while making some HTTP call and we found out that by
: increasing MaxConnectionsPerServer to 4 in client machines, the
: problem goes away. But, we have read that HTTP 1.1 specifies the
: client as well server restrict the connection between client and
: server to 2. With the tests we did, it seems IIS 5.0 doesn't restrict
: connection per client to 2 but we are not sure in the wake of the HTTP
: 1.1 specifications.
:
: Can someone tell us that whether IIS 5.0 implements this HTTP 1.1
: specification and restricts the connection from one client to 2 at one

: done in web server to circumvent this limit in IIS 5.0?
