The rds_connection (which is where the net pointer is being obtained from)
should keep the connection alive. Did you have the rds[_tcp] modules
loaded at the time of failure? Were there kernel tcp sockets to/from
the 16385 port? any hints on what else the test was doing (was it
running a userspace RDS application that triggered the kernel TCP
connection attempt in the first place)?
