In Windows there parameters that allow you to control the number of ports that can be used and the time to wait for sockets in TIME_WAIT state. The former parameter is MaxUserPorts (which can be used to set the value of the uppermost port that the administrator chooses to allow for outbound connections); the latter parameter in Windows is TcpTimedWaitDelay (Which determines the length of time that a connection stays in the TIME_WAIT state when being closed.)
Are there equivalent /proc or sysctl settings under Linux 2.4.7 that will allow me to achieve the same thing?
