We are conducting load test using VSTS 2010 for a particular application and we are observing a lot of socket exceptions with the error:
Exception SocketException A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond ..*.:443.
With the stack trace:
at System.Net.Sockets.Socket.EndConnect(IAsyncResult asyncResult) at System.Net.ServicePoint.ConnectSocketInternal(Boolean connectFailure, Socket s4, Socket s6, Socket& socket, IPAddress& address, ConnectSocketState state, IAsyncResult asyncResult, Int32 timeout, Exception& exception)
We have 2 agent machines through which we are conducting the load test. We are unable to figure out if its problem with the agent machines or network issue.
