Hi there
lwIP obeys the rfc TIME-WAIT spec, whereby a connection
sits around waiting to acknowledge any remaining FIN packets.
What is the significance of removing the TIME-WAIT state
and immediately freeing the pcb struct using tcp_abort?
I do this myself to conserve resources: if I have ten
incomming web server connections per second, I don't want
idle pcb structs taking up memory. IMO an http server
should send its last packet and forget the connection.
comments please.
Alternatively, can the time spend in TIMED-WAIT be reduced?
Can we not make this a few seconds instead of many minutes?
What parameters must be modified to reduce it?
What is the current timeout?
best wishes
