This shouldn't be related to how much data you push. Each of those
netstat lines represents a TCP client connection on localhost to a
server on localhost port 7500. 

Why there are that many client connections I don't know, maybe you just
ran echoclient 20 times in a row or so? Which of the example programs do
you use to reproduce this? (and how exactly?)
