[En-Nut-Discussion] CLOSE-WAIT Status TCP sockets

[Harald Kipp]

Ralph,

Isn't CLOSE-WAIT indicating, that the socket needs to be closed
by the application?

There may be a bug in the stack, which keeps the socket in
CLOSE-WAIT even after the application closed the socket.
IMHO it would make more sense in that case to fix the bug.

Can you please check if your application reliably closes
the socket?
