As ar as I know, this is something controlled by the TCP/IP stack of your host.  It is not 
dependent on Tomcat or Java.  Tomcat (through Java) just "accepts" a waiting connection, 
and gets the one which the native TCP/IP stack returns.
But yes, intuitively, it should always be a FIFO. I have a feeling that a lot of things 
would not work quite right if it wasn't. And it would certainly be unfair.
