Full Discussion: TCP ports - TIME_WAIT
Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users TCP ports - TIME_WAIT Post 35884 by yeheyaansari on Monday 12th of May 2003 09:42:56 AM

A protocol address (Port Number and Ipaddress) will stuck in TIME_WAIT state for maximum of 2MSL which I think is 2 minutes (I coudnt remembered it correctly). So once the TIME_WAIT is over that protocol address will be released and can be used at any time.
