Hi Janet -
Is the message "Address already in use" or is it "Port already
in use"? This seems like it may be a half-open TCP connection in
which one side has closed the connection but the other side of the
TCP connection still has the connection open. There are a couple of
ways to check for this condition via (1) implement TCP keep-alive timer,
or (2) in user space - check for write errors to the TCP connection
returned by the Linux kernel, then take appropriate action.
As a suggestion, I heartily recommend "TCP/IP Illustrated", Volumes
1 and 2 by W. Richard Stevens.
Hope this helps.
