Shuveb's definition is that he wants the connection to fail & give an error back to the app. My definition is that TCP should keep retrying until I plug the cable back in, so I don't get unneccessary failures if i'm just switching cables around. Likewise if there's temporary outages anywhere else in the link between the client & server.
