Yes; that's already shorter than possible MAXTTL value of packets, which can be anywhere up to 255 seconds (~= 5 minutes). Well, it's usually OK for a webserver to decide that it doesn't need to wait around for clients to properly shutdown their HTTP connections, but one might want to be more careful about zapping sockets early for HTTPS/SSL connections (ie, an online store doing a CC transaction or the like).
