[NTLUG:Discuss] Weird connections - Info please?

[Jack Snodgrass]

TIME_WAIT means that the remote server is busy. I think that the connection
will try again automatically every 60 seconds.

If you did
netstat -naeev
you'd see numbers instead of names.

I'm guessing that www-http would be 80 - I just see http on my port 80 from
netstat.
... and that internetslr.co is really internetslr.com.

So... these are all local ( you ) connections to a remote web server that
are
timing out because the remote web server is busy.

internetslr.com is some sort of remote site status place. I guess that they
have
more customers checking status than they can handle at one time.
