Avy... In TSM whenever you open a browser a "parent" session gets started on
the TSM server. Also when a schedule kicks off a parent session will open.
If TCP/IP failures occur the parent session tries to re-establich
communications with the server.

The main thing to remember is the parent session initializes child sessions
to send data to the TSM server. When you specify multiple backup streams
(using resourceutil option)... each new stream that is generated is a new
child session.
