OK thanks for that information. The question really remains however: is there any way that I can explain the abnormally high number of connection requests? Presumably there is only one source of such a request, and that is from the clients (browsers) running the application and attempting to connect via lightstreamer.js ?

Is there anything that my own JS code could do to (a bug) that would generate an unexpectedly high number of connections? I know that the browser itself has limits, but if you have a lot of users, all exhibiting the same bug, it could have this sort of impact. If my code created multiple duplicate LightStreamerClient's for example - or created just one but run a connect() method on it multiple times even when it is already either connected or in a connecting/disconnect-will-retry cycle?
