@@ -10,50 +10,6 @@ This document describes the URI format for defining connections between
 applications and MongoDB instances in the official MongoDB :doc:`drivers
 </applications/drivers>`.
 
-When you connect to a MongoDB database server, the MongoDB driver creates a
-connection object that is instantiated once and then reused for every
-operation during the lifetime of the connection.
-A single connection object can represent multiple connections to
-multiple :program:`mongod` or :program:`mongos` instances.
-
-The connection object
-uses the options you specify when creating the connection.
-The reuse of the connection object saves on the costs of setup and
-teardown on connections.
-
-Beginning with the Fall 2012 driver releases, MongoDB uses two new connection classes for
-the creation of connection objects:
-
-- ``MongoClient``: the standard connection class
-
-- ``MongoReplicaSetClient``: a connection class that some drivers use
-  separately for :term:`replica sets <replica set>`. Not all drivers use
-  a separate class for connections to replica sets. See the
-  :doc:`drivers </applications/drivers>` documentation for details.
-
-In MongoDB versions prior to the Fall 2012 driver releases, the connection classes vary from driver
-to driver.
-
-When you start a :program:`mongod` or :program:`mongos` instance,
-the program displays logging
-information and then displays that it is waiting for a client
-connection, as shown in the following example.

-   Wed Nov 21 12:56:58 [websvr] admin web console waiting for connections on port 28017
-   Wed Nov 21 12:56:58 [initandlisten] waiting for connections on port 27017
-
-By default, MongoDB waits for connections on port 27017.
-
-You make socket connections to running :program:`mongod` or :program:`mongos` instances
-through a MongoDB :doc:`driver </applications/drivers>` or
-through the :program:`mongo` shell.
-
-.. note:: You *cannot* create a connection through HTTP on port 27017.
-   Specifically, you *cannot* connect to MongoDB by going to
-   ``http://localhost:27017`` in your web browser.
