Description

Resolution:
FTL applications running on Microsoft Windows create multiple TCP connections on the loopback interface for internal monitoring mechanisms. This behavior is seen only on Windows as the socketpair() API is not available on this OS compared to Linux. These internal loopback connections are used mainly for IO event notifications generating little traffic. On a typical application which creates subscribers and receives data from senders, an increase in the number of such connections is not expected.
