socket exception loadtest errors

Question

Hi,

    I am using VS2010 ultimate for performance testing of application. While running the loadtest for 200 users with 1 hour duration i got lots of timeout errors and Socket exception errors. I have adjusted step user pattern so that 200 users will ramp up in 20 minutes and I am using a mix of scenarios. I do not get these erros for lower user count of 50 users.

    the socket exceptions are mainly of two types

     1)

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 66.203.202.61:443

   2)

An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

   can anybody please explain me why should I be getting these errors. Which area I should look for to investigate this issue?
