Hi, I've recently installed a new (big) HP ProLiant DL585-G7 with RHEL 6 working as NFS-server. Now I've seen thousands of tcp-connections in TIME_WAIT state. I've already set net.ipv4.tcp_fin_timeout = 10, but the number of the connections in TIME_WAIT remains almost the same (also setting tcp_fin_timeout to 1 doesn't change anything here).
Checking "netstat -tn" shows: Active Internet connections (w/o servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State ...... tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:47120 127.0.0.1:962 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:689 127.0.0.1:962 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:46500 127.0.0.1:962 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:46927 127.0.0.1:962 TIME_WAIT tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:46694 127.0.0.1:962 TIME_WAIT ....... and lsof for port 962 shows: lsof -i :962 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME ypbind 46372 root 6u IPv4 444939 0t0 TCP *:962 (LISTEN) so, is it ypbind that is having that much (short lived) connections??? why?? or what else could be the reason for having that much local connections? any idea? thanks a lot, Christian _______________________________________________ rhelv6-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv6-list
