The optimal number of connections is bounded above by one for just about
every case I can think of. Further, I don't agree that there is no way to
restrict the number of connections available to a given host; there are
lots of ways ranging from the TCP stack to the application layer. What I
think you argued was that it was undesirable to do this in case the host
in question was a big proxy.
We are discussing HTTP/1.1. What I argued included what you think I
argued, but also included something entirely different. Please read
my message more carefully.
