이것을 설정해주는 이유는 소켓이 부족하여 프로세스 강제중단을 막기 위해서 입니다. TCP 세션이 종료할때 passive 한쪽에서 명시적으로 close 를 해주지 않아서 그렇습니다. system에서 tcp를 일정시간 잡고 있는것 뿐입니다. 그걸 빨리 없애고 싶으시다면 registry값을 변경해야 합니다. Remember that TCP guarantees all data transmitted will be delivered, if at all possible. When you close a socket, the server goes into a TIME_WAIT state, just to be really really sure that all the data has gone through. When a socket is closed, both sides agree by sending messages to each other that they will send no more data. This, it seemed to me was good enough, and after the handshaking is done, the socket should be closed. The problem is two-fold. First, there is no way to be sure that the last ack was communicated successfully. Second, there may be "wandering duplicates" left on the net that must be dealt with if they are delivered. http://www.developerweb.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20TIME_WAIT 줄이기
TIME_WAIT는 끊어진 겁니다.
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters
에서 TcpTimedWaitDelay 값을 만들어 줘야 합니다.
REG_DWORD고 값 범위는 0x1E- 0x12C (30 - 300) seconds default는 0xF0 (240 seconds = 4 minutes)
(windows 2000이상입니다. NT도 되는지는 잘 모르겠네요)
You should change the registry as folows:
1) goto the folowing key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\tcpip\Parameters
2) Add a Value:
Value Name:
TcpTimedWaitDelay
Data Type:
REG_DWORD
Value:
30-300 (decimal) - time in seconds
The default is 240 if the value is nor present.. which is quite a long time to keep a socket open on pending for closure.
Any Web Server on a Win32 platform should change this Value because sooner or later all the sockets would be in that state and no new connections untill a socket wuld go out of TIME_WAIT state.2.7 - Please explain the TIME_WAIT state.
Andrew Gierth ( andrew@erlenstar.demon.co.uk) helped to explain the closing sequence in the following usenet posting:
Assume that a connection is in ESTABLISHED state, and the client is about to do an orderly release. The client's sequence no. is Sc, and the server's is Ss. The pipe is empty in both directions.
Code:
Client Server
====== ======
ESTABLISHED ESTABLISHED
(client closes)
ESTABLISHED ESTABLISHED
------->>
FIN_WAIT_1
<<--------
FIN_WAIT_2 CLOSE_WAIT
<<-------- (server closes)
LAST_ACK
, ------->>
TIME_WAIT CLOSED
(2*msl elapses...)
CLOSED
Note: the +1 on the sequence numbers is because the FIN counts as one byte of data. (The above diagram is equivalent to fig. 13 from RFC 793).
Now consider what happens if the last of those packets is dropped in the network. The client has done with the connection; it has no more data or control info to send, and never will have. But the server does not know whether the client received all the data correctly; that's what the last ACK segment is for. Now the server may or may not care whether the client got the data, but that is not an issue for TCP; TCP is a reliable rotocol, and must distinguish between an orderly connection close where all data is transferred, and a connection abort where data may or may not have been lost.
So, if that last packet is dropped, the server will retransmit it (it is, after all, an unacknowledged segment) and will expect to see a suitable ACK segment in reply. If the client went straight to CLOSED, the only possible response to that retransmit would be a RST, which would indicate to the server that data had been lost, when in fact it had not been.
(Bear in mind that the server's FIN segment may, additionally, contain data.)
DISCLAIMER: This is my interpretation of the RFCs (I have read all the TCP-related ones I could find), but I have not attempted to examine implementation source code or trace actual connections in order to verify it. I am satisfied that the logic is correct, though.
More commentarty from Vic:
The second issue was addressed by Richard Stevens ( rstevens@noao.edu, author of "Unix Network Programming). I have put together quotes from some of his postings and email which explain this. I have brought together paragraphs from different postings, and have made as few changes as possible.
From Richard Stevens ( rstevens@noao.edu):
If the duration of the TIME_WAIT state were just to handle TCP's full-duplex close, then the time would be much smaller, and it would be some function of the current RTO (retransmission timeout), not the MSL (the packet lifetime).
A couple of points about the TIME_WAIT state.
The end that sends the first FIN goes into the TIME_WAIT state, because that is the end that sends the final ACK. If the other end's FIN is lost, or if the final ACK is lost, having the end that sends the first FIN maintain state about the connection guarantees that it has enough information to retransmit the final ACK.
Realize that TCP sequence numbers wrap around after 2**32 bytes have been transferred. Assume a connection between A.1500 (host A, port 1500) and B.2000. During the connection one segment is lost and retransmitted. But the segment is not really lost, it is held by some intermediate router and then re-injected into the network. (This is called a "wandering duplicate".) But in the time between the packet being lost & retransmitted, and then reappearing, the connection is closed (without any problems) and then another connection is established between the same host, same port (that is, A.1500 and B.2000; this is called another "incarnation" of the connection). But the sequence numbers chosen for the new incarnation just happen to overlap with the sequence number of the wandering duplicate that is about to reappear. (This is indeed possible, given the way sequence numbers are chosen for TCP connections.) Bingo, you are about to deliver the data from the wandering duplicate (the previous incarnation of the connection) to the new incarnation of the connection. To avoid this, you do not allow the same incarnation of the connection to be reestablished until the TIME_WAIT state terminates. Even the TIME_WAIT state doesn't complete solve the second problem, given what is called TIME_WAIT assassination. RFC 1337 has more details.
The reason that the duration of the TIME_WAIT state is 2*MSL is that the maximum amount of time a packet can wander around a network is assumed to be MSL seconds. The factor of 2 is for the round-trip. The recommended value for MSL is 120 seconds, but Berkeley-derived implementations normally use 30 seconds instead. This means a TIME_WAIT delay between 1 and 4 minutes. Solaris 2.x does indeed use the recommended MSL of 120 seconds.
A wandering duplicate is a packet that appeared to be lost and was retransmitted. But it wasn't really lost ... some router had problems, held on to the packet for a while (order of seconds, could be a minute if the TTL is large enough) and then re-injects the packet back into the network. But by the time it reappears, the application that sent it originally has already retransmitted the data contained in that packet.
Because of these potential problems with TIME_WAIT assassinations, one should not avoid the TIME_WAIT state by setting the SO_LINGER option to send an RST instead of the normal TCP connection termination (FIN/ACK/FIN/ACK). The TIME_WAIT state is there for a reason; it's your friend and it's there to help you
I have a long discussion of just this topic in my just-released "TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 3". The TIME_WAIT state is indeed, one of the most misunderstood features of TCP.
I'm currently rewriting "Unix Network Programming" and will include lots more on this topic, as it is often confusing and misunderstood.
An additional note from Andrew:
Closing a socket: if SO_LINGER has not been called on a socket, then close() is not supposed to discard data. This is true on SVR4.2 (and, apparently, on all non-SVR4 systems) but apparently not on SVR4; the use of either shutdown() or SO_LINGER seems to be required to guarantee delivery of all data.
From: Stephen Satchell
On the question of using SO_LINGER to send a RST on close to avoid the TIME_WAIT state: I've been having some problems with router access servers (names withheld to protect the guilty) that have problems dealing with back-to-back connections on a modem dedicated to a specific channel. What they do is let go of the connection, accept another call, attempt to connect to a well-known socket on a host, and the host refuses the connection because there is a connection in TIME_WAIT state involving the well-known socket. (Steve's book TCP Illustrated Vol 1 discusses this problem in more detail.) In order to avoid the connection-refused problem, I've had to install an option to do reset-on-close in the server when the server initiates the disconnection.
My server is a Linux system running 2.0.34 if that level of detail is important to the discussion.
The IP address is usually the same, but the socket number is always different -- I've logged the socket numbers used by the router access servers and they are indeed different. I don't have a log for refused connections, however. (Interested in how to record this information, by the way.)출처
