I doubt a gigabit Ethernet connection will make any significant difference. Data rate from your scanner is dependent on the mechanical speed of the sensor and scan resolution. If you scan a page 8.5 by 11 inches at 600 pixels per inch resolution with 24 bits per pixel, there is about 100

"Timed wait" is the final stage when a TCP connection is closed. TCP has the notion of "maximum segment lifetime" - how long a datagram might remain somewhere in the network. Before a connection is completely closed, it remains in the "timed wait" state for twice this maximum segment lifetime.
