Does Windows 7 need tcp ip patch!?

You are aware that there is no limit on 7, right?

Did not know that. Why does the patch read only a limit of 10

It only seemed like it did. The only difference is the client can attempt to connect to more sources when the transfer starts. It doesn't affect the speed of the transfers a bit.

I wouldn't be so sure about that...

Nah, this has nothing to do with the max half open connections limit, the event for that particular error is different

If I can dig it out I'll post it here

Edit, there it is :

Event ID 4226

Source Tcpip

Type Warning

Description TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts.

Here's the description of the limit by a microsoft poster in their forums :

  Quote

This limit only applies to connections in which the destinations are unreachable. You absolutely should not hit it if you are opening TCP connections to addresses that are live with an active listener on the destination port.

Hence why most knowledgeable people say it doesn't influence P2P at all
