Hi,

I have a few questions.

There is a CORBA connection between 2 HP-UX 11.11i hosts.
Then the LAN of the 2nd host is pulled.

On the 1st host all connections disappear, as expected.
But on the 2nd host all connections still are present, as established.
With lsof one can see that the CORBA processes are still connected to those ports.

My questions are about the port management.

Isn't this a HP-UX core issue ?
Aren't there checks that ensure that a port only can show established, if the other side shows the same ?
Can it be that an application keeps ports established, whilst on interface level this is not possible ?

It appears to be possible, but I would assume it to be the other way around.
I would assume that netstat would show no connection or perhaps time_wait.
That the application thinks the connection is still established, is the problem of the application.
I would expect that on interface level I get the valid port information.

Greetings,

E.J.
