ASP.NET HTTP Connection Limit

Question

I know this was required in ASP.NET 1.1 because it would limit http connections to 2 by default.

<system.net>
  <connectionManagement>
     <add address="*" maxconnection="8"/>
  </connectionManagement>
</system.net> 

However I believe in the 2.0 framework it defaults to 12n where n is the number of cpus?

Can anyone confirm that is correct?

Answer 1

Yes, the default is 12 * #CPUs (12n) in ASP.NET 2.0.
