I have made some more tests on my Win7Pro and saw that MS was clever enough to raise the 10000 handles per process limit in newer Windows'. I think the new limit is something like 24-25000. To support 20k connections with ICS, we still need to raise the WH_MAX_MSG though. Any comment on making this a property?
