What exactly do you mean by "waiting for tcp"? TCP establishes so-called "virtual channels" for communication. Think of them like telephone connections: you dial a number and once someone picks up at the other end the connection is established until the connection is dropped (one of the partners hangs up).
TCP connections (here is a difference to the telephone analogy) then go into a state which is called "FIN_WAITING" for some time until they are completely removed. You can influence the time this phase takes via TCP tuning options but in 99.9% of all systems this is not necessary.
So again: what is your problem and what do you mean by "waiting for tcp"?
I hope this helps.

PROTO
The string TCP.
TCPLOCALHOST
The domain name of the local host, with uppercase letters converted to lowercase. If there is no currently available domain name for
the local IP address, TCPLOCALHOST is not set.
TCPLOCALIP
The IP address of the local host, in dotted-decimal form.
TCPLOCALPORT
The local TCP port number, in decimal.
TCPREMOTEHOST
The domain name of the remote host, with uppercase letters converted to lowercase. If there is no currently available domain name for
the remote IP address, TCPREMOTEHOST is not set.
