What is the difference between web.config executionTimeout and IIS timeout?

What is the difference between the following entry in web.config:

 <httpRuntime ... executionTimeout="1300" ... />

And this setting in IIS 7.5 (Default web site > Advanced Settings > Connection Limits) :

enter image description here

It seems executionTimeout is not the same as IIS timeout. What is the difference?

connectionTimeout applies to the TCP connection between client and server, while executionTimeout applies to an actual web request that is sent over that connection.

From here on connectionTimeout:

Specifies the time (in seconds) that IIS waits before it disconnects a connection that is considered inactive.

From here on executionTimeout:

Specifies the maximum number of seconds that a request is allowed to execute before being automatically shut down by ASP.NET.
