A TCP connection has two ends. Since you are connecting to localhost, both
the client side and server side socket are on the same machine. If you were
connecting to a remote host one socket would have been created on the client
machine and the other on the server machine.

hello,
I noticed that when asynchronously connecting to an acceptor on localhost using boost::asio::ip::tcp::socket generates 2 TCP sockets on the system. One to the acceptor and one to the other one. Stepping into the code I can see where it is done, but I don't understand why. So why is this extra TCP socket there?
thanks in advance, Gert
