TIME_WAIT connection state
[1/2] from: rebol-list2::seznam::cz at: 16-Jul-2003 11:19
Hello rebol-list,
is it ok that there is still connection in the TIME_WAIT state after
opening and closing TCP port under win2000?
Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP oldes-athlon:5000 oldes-athlon:0 LISTENING
TCP oldes-athlon:1035 oldes-athlon:5000 TIME_WAIT
if I reopen the same port, new connection on different port is
established...
TCP oldes-athlon:1036 oldes-athlon:5000 ESTABLISHED
TCP oldes-athlon:5000 oldes-athlon:1036 ESTABLISHED
I can see that these TIME_WAIT connections disappear after some
time, but I'm just wondering that other apps are not leaving such a
connections.

AFAIK all applications do. The TCP/IP stack puts sockets in
TIME_WAIT after they are closed to catch any out-of-order packets
that are still floating around, IIRC.

Gabriele.
