Is there any concurrent HTTP requests limitation for Silverlight?

Question

I know that RFC requires UserAgent to have a limit of max 2 http connection to single server. In fact, most browsers have the limit larger than 2.

The question is whether Silverlight have such limitation. Does it follow limit of hosting web browser? or does it has its own max connection limit?

Answer 1

I don't now the exact answer to your question, but Silverlight 2 uses the browser HTTP stack and probably is limited to what it will do. In Silverlight 3 you have a choice between the browser stack and a new Silverlight stack. I don't know if the new stack is limited to two simultaneous connections to the same site, but it should be possible to check this by creating a small test program.
