Time Wait State
2MSL state ( 2 * Maximum Segment Life )
- During an active close, the sender’s connection stays in a TIME_WAIT state
- During 2MSL state, the socket pair can’t be re-used
- Delayed segments arriving during 2MSL are discarded
- Server does a passive close but doesn’t go into 2MSL
- Quiet Time Concept
- FIN_WAIT_2State
