If you browse your mvc pages, through modern day browsers like Chrome - you will find that there would be additional requests like the ones to the favicon. This is the icon, that appears to the left of the web address in the browser once the page loads.

In order to ignore this request, you would need to ignore the route. Add this in the RegisterRoutes method in the global.asax.cs file.
routes.IgnoreRoute("{*favicon}", new {favicon=@"(.*/)?favicon.ico(/.*)?"});

This would ignore all requests of favicon.ico.
