SubjectRe: TCP TIME-WAIT bug in Linux 2.2.5 (still there I think)
   Date:   Sun, 25 Jul 1999 17:00:25 -0400 (EDT)
From: "Vijay G. Bharadwaj" <vgb@isr.umd.edu>

Linux 2.2.5 (and I think later versions as well - I can't find a
fix in the patch sets for 2.2 or 2.3) does not ACK a FIN received
when in TIME-WAIT. This leads to connections on the remote host
taking longer to die than they should, and connections on the Linux
host remaining in TIME-WAIT longer than they should.

We know about this fallacy and are working on fixes to go into 2.2.11

Later,
