title: how many concurrent requests settings for IIS 8.5
body: <p>How many concurrent requests can be executed in IIS 8.5?</p>
  
  <p>I could not find proper values for how many concurrent requests can be executed in IIS 8.5</p>
  
  <p>As I found out below 2 different values:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>By default IIS 8.5 can handle 5000 concurrent requests as per <code>MaxConcurrentRequestsPerCPU</code> settings in aspnet.config</p></li>
  <li><p>In machine.config, the maxconnection is 2 per CPU as default. So if have 6 core CPU then 12 concurrent requests are possible by default.</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>So I would like to know that Point 1 is right or Point 2 is right for concurrent requests for IIS 8.5.</p>
