server will not reply (syn -ack)
- by Brent
I like to use the following commands to manage 'TIME_WAIT', in the hope to free up resources.
echo 20 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fin_timeout
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_tw_reuse=1
sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_tw_recycle=1
I found something interesting while doing a tcpdump. Sometimes if a client makes a connection (syn), the server will not reply (syn -ack).
My question is, could it be because of the top three commands.
