Java nio connection is creating multiple socket level connections, Why?

Question

I have written a simple java nio program like the below

 public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, InterruptedException {


    InetSocketA         


        

Answer 1

The image is very small but on closer investigation you have

• two Java processes
• the first process has a connection to itself. There is a connection for each end, port 52209 and 52210.
• it also has a connection from the second process on port 1001.
• the second process is the client you are running with one connection to port 1001
