How IIS Server works(threading)

I have a question about processing new user(by IIS server), who start work with ASP.NET Web-application. What happens with threads pool when new user connect? Does the IIS server allocate a new thread for each user? Are there any limits for number of threads? I would be grateful for information about it.

HTTP has no notion of users or sessions, neither has IIS. Both think in terms of requests.

In ASP.NET incoming requests are put into a queue and worked on by thread-pool tasks.

Open keep-alive connections do not consume threading resources. IIS manages them in the Windows kernel using async IO.

ASP.NET has a limit how many requests it will queue. This limit is quite high. The thread-pool is the standard .NET thread-pool and all its limits apply as well. Normally, you don't have to worry about these limits.
