According to MR.Andrew point , if the SO_KEEPALIVE option is 0 which is set by application , so these 2 connection will be in Established state for ever ?
Correct. If SO_KEEPALIVE is 0 - the default value - AIX will never close the connection. If keepalives were being used, you would have to wait tcp_keepidle/2 seconds after the last data packet before a keepalive test packet was sent. Your 10 minute tcpdump is unlikely to see one. You would need to run it for at least tcp_keepidle/2 seconds. The two zeroes in your netstat output are the receive and send queue lengths. If they were non-zero and the other end of the connection was down, TCP duplicate ACKs and/or retransmits would have closed the connection within a couple of minutes. You did not confirm or deny my hypothesis that there was a firewall in the path. -- There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes. -- Dr. Who ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-users mailing list <wireshark-users () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-users Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-users mailto:wireshark-users-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
