I am trying to test the limit of a Windows Server 2008 (64 bit with 15 GB RAM) machine for maximum inbound TCP/IP connections on a port. I am using C# with async sockets.

The issue I am facing is that server stops accepting more after 90-100K TCP connections even though of resources are still free (CPU, memory). There is no fixed limit after which is stops but it is in range of 90-100K and sometime even little more than that.

Does anyone have idea about this issue?

How many maximum TCP connections ever achieved on windows machine?

TCP only has 65k ports available. If you use all those up, the server can't accept more connections.

  • I am using only one port on sever. Therefore this shouldn't be any issue. My question is around total connections not ports. I already achieved 90K+ connection on the machine. Jun 25, 2012 at 9:10
  • The machine which you are running can to use dynamic ports outbound. You might be a better answer on Stack Overflow.
