I hate replying to questions with links however I read through this very recently and found it hugely interesting so thought you might appreciate the read:

I am wrestling with deploying an application on Windows Server 2012. The problem is that after accepting about ~2000 TCP connections it fails to accept more. And I need much more. We have 8 cores, 16 GB RAM, 3GH CPU, pretty strong box. But not capable of holding more than 2000 socket connections..
The questions:
- if this is some kind of server OS limitation, can it be lifted?
- could anyone recommend tools for benchmarking how many TCP connections the server is capable of?

PatH about 10 yearsThanks! Very useful tools indeed. I've tried it and it confirms my own tests. That server won't accept more than 2000 TCP connections. Now I need to figure out why?
