Based on the IE documentation on MSDN IE 8 supports up to 6 parallel connections per server and IE 6,7 support 2.

What is the upper limit of parallel connections accross all the hosts? So if I have 60 hosts, 8 requests per host, so 360 requests in the HTML page - does it mean that IE 8 will have 360 connection in parallel and IE 6 or 7 would have 120? (ignoring the html rendering time, and if call is blocking or not)
