[geeks] IDLE TCP/UDP Sockets

Anyone know what sockets in the IDLE state mean? I got the following snippet
from the netstat man page:

IDLE  Idle, opened but not bound.

This does not tell me a whole lot. We have an iWS web instance that has a ton of
sockets opened. Each
socket is sitting in the IDLE state.

Thanks for any info,
Ryan
