 I already posted this on the mailing list, but since no-one replied and
 said this is a feature I assume it is a bug.

 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.
