Socket remains in CLOSE_WAIT state

Guest

I've read many articles on the subject and the majority of them give the same
solution that's in article 821625 on the MSDN website. I'm using the
following code and when a the client disconnects the child socket remains in
the CLOSE_WAIT state. Anyone have any idea what's missing?

CLOSE_WAIT is normal, it does not mean the socket is open. It means the
socket is closed but is waiting for any extra data that may be sent to it.
This is used so that a new socket is not created on the same port immeditly
and receive packets from an old connection. There is a default time of (I
think) 120 seconds in this state, which can be changed in the registry.

The problem is that the CLOSE_WAIT states never go away and they build up
over time (hours). I have to shutdown the socket server after a few hours to
clear them off.

I reduced the time to KeepAlive, but it didn't help. Are there any other
registry parameters I might need to set?

Normally if the socket is not closed correctly it stays in the FIN_WAIT_X
state not TIME_WAIT. But if you are using all the ports up because you are
creating a lot of connections very fast then you can increase the number of
allowed user ports in the registry. By default this is 5000 (Minus 1024
reserved ports.) This can be increased to 65535. Search MSDN for
MaxUserPort and it will give more information on increasing this value.

The problem is that the CLOSE_WAIT states never go away and they build up
over time (hours). I have to shutdown the socket server after a few hours
to
clear them off.

I reduced the time to KeepAlive, but it didn't help. Are there any other
registry parameters I might need to set?

Bob said:
CLOSE_WAIT is normal, it does not mean the socket is open. It means the
socket is closed but is waiting for any extra data that may be sent to
it.
This is used so that a new socket is not created on the same port
immeditly
and receive packets from an old connection. There is a default time of (I
think) 120 seconds in this state, which can be changed in the registry.

I have attempted to tune with several registry settings including
MaxUserPort. I set it to 32768. But, I'm not having a problem with
connections coming in too fast. In, fact as I am writing I have one
CLOSE_WAIT state on the machine that has been there for over 6 hours. I will
go away only when I shutdown the socket. This is not a production evironment.
I'm testing and trying to solve this problem on a test machine.

I don't have a sniffer, so I wrote a batch file that loops with no delay and
redirects output to a file. The command in the loop is netstat -na -p tcpCLOSE_WAIT and FIN_WAIT_2. That's with the batch file and/or done manually.

Hey, after six hours my CLOSE_WAIT has gone away. I guess I can live with
that until I figure something else out.

Thanks Bob
