    I'm writing client for test a server. I want to simulate a large number of client connections . However, an error appears when I create more than 16 NetworkClient: "maximum hosts cannot exceed {16}" . Can I create more than 16 NetworkClient? How to do it?

    I got that problem too. Cannot connect more than 16 NetworkClient per .exe standalone instance. The best I can do now is run many .exe instance with 16 NetworkClient each.

    Thank you for your reply. But clients are periodically disconnected from the server and re-reconnected. And again there is the same error

    Increase DisconnectTimeout from both Server/Client's ConnectionConfig. My DisconnectTimeout is 10000 ms (default is 2000 ms). My client also send an empty "Ping" message each second. Hope it help in your case.
