Could be something related to the earlier cookie controversy that was discussed. I did dig too deeply into exactly what they were doing however. Chuck On Thu, Sep 29, 2011 at 9:13 AM, Glen Kent <glen.kent@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi,
I see that i have multiple TCP sessions established with facebook. They come up even after i reboot my laptop and dont login to facebook!
D:\Documents and Settings\gkent>netstat -a | more

Any idea why these connections are established (with facebook and akamaitechnologies) and how i can kill them? Since my laptop has several connections open with facebook, what kind of information is flowing there?
I also wonder about the kind of servers facebook must be having to be able to manage millions of TCP connections that must be terminating there.
