asp.net session stateserver recycle

Hi,

Simple Question:
how long does a state server keeps the session in its memory.?

Detailed Question:
Regarding asp.net session stateserver recycling, I could not find a single document explaining the RECYCLING of State Server (aspnet_state.exe) (out of proc) in asp.net v2.0 excluding the application, worker proc recycling.

Can some one explain when does the session gets (AUTOMATICALLY) actually removed from the State Server (from the memory of this windows service?). Is there a recycling machanism or garbage collection process ?. (I know session.abandon removes it).

I know very well that using state server can help sessions persist xxxx Recycles. But i need to know when does the state server recylces sessions (object or related stuff) and on what conditions ?

Here are some really good explanations of the session state:

But I think that the question that you are asking could be approached better if we knew what you are trying to do, and more detail about any kind of error you might be experiencing?
