If you're referring to tcp_fin_timeout, then I agree it's a strict violation of the TCP spec (which honestly is just a guide anyway and not a contract). Vendors violate spec from time to time (eg. put your favorite vendor here).
I'm asking about tcp_tw_reuse not tcp_fin_timeout which I'm not using (yet). Going back to my question. Why should you or should you not use tcp_tw_reuse? Let's not focus on what my purposes for asking this question for now :). Your thoughts will be appreciated. Ciao!
