Hi, >http://www.knowplace.org/netfilter/ip_overview.html |Sometimes, if either hosts need to tear down the connection quickly (timeout, |port or host unreachable, etc.), a RST (Reset) packet is sent. Note that |since a RST packet is not necessarily always part of a TCP connection, it can be |sent by itself. RST packets that are part of a TCP connection is usually |accompanied by the ACK flag as well. What would be the use of RST if it is not part of a connection? Is it...vv? A and B are connected A crashes B tries to send A sends RST,!ACK Jan Engelhardt --
