Most browsers have a hard-coded limit of 2 parallel Requests per Domain 
to avoid flooding servers with requests.

The limit is per Domain, not per IP, which is why you can trick around 
this limit by using multiple domains to point to your tile-server 
(a.tile.myserver.net, b.tile.myserver.net, c.tile.myserver.net).

If is, for example, done on osm.org:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/openlayers/OpenStreetMap.js
