What is the maximum size that maxReceivedMessageSize can be set to for a NetNamedPipeBinding?

I noticed that 2147483647 seems to be a popular choice for maxReceivedMessageSize but is this the limit?

Nope, the limit is Int64.MaxValue - reference

A: 

On the other hand, you might want to consider that setting it to 2 GB of message size means your WCF server will potentially have to deal with several messages of up to 2 GB in size simultaneously - can it do that??
