When physically disconnecting two TCP socket-connected
machines, the time it takes the OS to realize that the
other party is not responding is too big (>2 min). I
want to be able to rapidly detect such errors, but
socket switches too slow from 'ESTABLISHED' to
'CLOSE_WAIT' (or 'TIME_WAIT'...). 
What TCP parameter should I modify ? Generate a new
kernel or via sysctl ?...

Thanks in advance

Alexandru
