Description
I'm on a new internet connection since a few weeks and I'm noticing interesting pattern with the ISP provided router - it can handle 1000s of connections just fine, but whenever I try to establish 100+ connections is a really short time (around 1 connection/ms), it just freezes for a few seconds or just dies (same with closing connections, but that's an issue for connmgr).
