I'm running FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE, compiled with updates as of 13 Aug. 2008, and I'm seeing TCP connections that have been in FIN_WAIT_1 state for at least eleven *hours*. It has been years since I last read all the specs on TCP close processing, but my recollection is that the entire sequence was limited to only two or three minutes. I couldn't find a bug report, but that proves nothing. Does anyone know of such a bug? Or some weird condition I should look for that might cause TCP connections to get stuck in the closing sequence somehow? The hardware configuration is a Dell Inspiron XPS with a Broadcom BCM5705 A1 adaptor, ASIC rev. 0x3001, (bge driver) for 10/100/1000 Mb/s connected to a Comcast/RCA cable modem at 100 Mb/s. Thanks in advance for any information you may have. Scott Bennett, Comm.
