Start the chatserver example. Run TcpView (from sysinternals). Look at the sockets generated by the example. As expected the server has created 1 socket and its status is ""listening"". Ok so far. Next start the chat client example. It generates 3 sockets! One is expected: it targets the port the server is listening on. But there are 2 others in ""established"" state. They target each other. Why are they there and what are they doing? NOTE: ofc the server generated a new ""established"" socket as well.",Bugs,closed,To Be Determined,asio,Boost 1.46.0,Cosmetic,invalid,asyncconnect multiple sockets,
