It may be worthy to note what platform you are using and whether or not
the network service provider is limiting the number of network
connections as well. Although I do not think this is the issue that you
are referring to and the replies seem to indicate a code oriented issue,
I have noticed that my particular Internet Service Provider limits
simultaneous connections to around 250 even with a 3mbit connection. As
the number of connections increases, my connection is eventually reset
and I receive a new IP and all of my previous connections are lost. I
think it wise to mention this possible bottleneck in design and testing
of softwares being tested on non-production servers as it may cause
unusual behavior when testing with DSL or Cable connections; given the
recent nature of and response by ISP's to file sharing and bit-torrent
traffic this type of limiting isn't surprising. This type of
phenomenon may also be a means of trying to quash Internet worms.
