There is an important reason for me to to ask and you to answer the question (i.e. with a real-world use-case) and that's because typically when somebody is proposing to do things that are "strange" or "not as intended" (and indeed which will result in other things breaking -- like TCP in this case) it's because they are trying to solve a problem with the wrong tool. Can you please provide a real-world use-case as to why you'd want/need to stop (i.e. break) an open TCP session? Cheers, b.
