Team, Tomcat version : 8.0.18
Apache HTTPD version : 2.2 There are lot of CLOSE_WAIT connections being created at the Application(tomcat) ,when the traffic is routed through the Apache HTTPD load balancer to the Application running over tomcat container. This leads to slowness of the port where the Application is running and eventually the application is not accessible through that particular PORT. In case of the traffic directly reaching the Application PORT without HTTPD (Load balancer) there is no CLOSE_WAIT connections created and application can handle the load seamlessly. Thanks in advance for the support. Regards, Adhavan.M
