Hi, When I delete an IP-address from an interface, the TCP (and other) connections using that local IP-address are not getting purged. The telnet or ssh sessions on the other end just get hung, as FreeBSD address-deletion doesn't handle this situation and fails to call pfctlinput() to notify protocols on this event. The TCP connections simply linger in the system and takes it due course on TCP timers to free those inpcbs. tcp4 0 0 30.30.30.31.22 30.30.30.30.58796 ESTABLISHED Is this by design? Or any significance on relying on applications intelligently to do timeouts, without a notification from network layer? Thanks, Prabhu H
