Remarks
The MaxConcurrentCalls property specifies the maximum number of messages actively processing across all the dispatcher objects in a ServiceHost object. Each channel can have one pending message that does not count against the value of MaxConcurrentCalls until Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) begins to process it.
