Hi, (Apologies if this is not the right list to post this query.) I have the following question (purely from an academic standpoint) regarding the TCP state machine diagram (as is given in books authored by Richard Stevens, Comer etc. ). There is a transition from the state FIN_WAIT1 to the state TIME_WAIT upon receipt of a packet with both FIN & ACK flags set. In what scenario(s) will the other end send such a packet ? [ I was trying to figure out the scenario from the 2.6 source code. I was able to find the code corresponding to the other two transitions only viz "FIN_WAIT1 to FIN_WAIT2" and "FIN_WAIT1 to CLOSING"] Thanks for your reply. ~ Regards, Radha -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
