Hi Folks,

Check out:

http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~cao/papers/persistent-connection.html

on our observation of "Persistent Connection Behavior of Popular Browsers".

Main findings:

. Internet Explorer uses a maximum of 2 connections per server, and *times out*
  its persistent connections after *60 sec*.

. Navigator uses a maximum of 6 connections per server.  Doesn't time out
  connections, *but* maintains only 13 or 15 open persistent connections and
  *uses LRU to close them*.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Pei
