Re: Listener in CLOSE_WAIT (Darren New)

The problem is  they remain in CLOSE_WAIT without clearing up at all. By
the way the listener is running in RH Linux 7.2.

CLOSE_WAIT is a TCP state where the socket is closed, but the kernel is=20
keeping around enough information to properly handle packets that might=20
have been duplicated and then delayed in the network. It prevents a new=20
connection to the socket from accidentally getting confused with a=20
closed connection. CLOSE_WAIT should clear up within 256 seconds of the=20
actual close, all by itself.
