I have experienced problems with terminations of TCP-sockets. 1) My side is actively sending a large amount of data to a rather slow peer. 2) The peer suddenly dies. 3) The socket-state becomes CLOSE_WAIT, and will stay so until the sending process is killed. 4) If the sending process is killed, the socket-state will turn into LAST_ACK, and will stay so "forever". 5) This "forever", might sometimes only last for a few weeks or months. I run kernel v2.0.36. Any ideas about this problem? Or any suggestion how I could try to locate the error in the kernel? At present I do have two sockets hanging as described, one in CLOSE_WAIT with an attached process, and another in LAST_ACK without any process. /Henrik - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
