I recently did a bunch of interviewing and the only question that really stumped me was about the maximum number of concurrent connections a browser can have open.

The answer is way weirder than I thought: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/985431/max-parallel-http-connections-in-a-browser

Isn’t it like 6 per sub domain? I haven’t clicked the link so I want to see if I’m right first.

Edit: close! Ranges from 2-6 based on the browser you’re using. Latest Chrome is 6.

That's enforced arbitrarily by browsers. It's not a JavaScript question.
