Sorry, one final thing - we can see these hanging connections on the FEP: netstat -an | head -n 2 ; netstat -an | fgrep EST | fgrep -v "tcp4 0" This shows the established sockets with unread recv-q. Obviously not every socket shown is hanging; but by observing it over an extended (10s) period, you can quickly see connections whose recv-q is not drained.
