the application connection its connect through port 500 to another application, but if we see the bold one is mean that the tcp connection not binded to the another application server.
how to release or refresh the tcp connection to not bind "bold" ?
Give us header of "application log connection:". Example
Local-Port Remote-IP:Port ??? Connection-Time ??? ?? ????
0500 ( 192.168.0.1:36053) 00919 2007/05/10 23:30:25 112 13 2007/05/10 23:30:25 1969/12/31 17:00:00
pseudo code of your server will be very helpful to help you
You can use tcpdump/ethereal to see what is happening b/w both client and server... Simply "snoop" packets for "port 500".
At instance i can think of tunning Kernel-TCP/IP parameters and reduce idle-timeout. In SunOs you can use ndd and in Linux you can use sysctl (/proc/sys/net/ipv4)
local-port is 500 and remote port is depend on the application is can 36053, 45050,etc and connection time is 23:30:25, pid is 00919 (919), application id is 112.
how to check that the tcp connection is stuck (means no transaction on the TCP ?
# snoop -r -s 1600 "port 500"
should give you communication b/w server and client. Then you analyse the sequence for communication taking place. If you running client and server on same machine then you need to provide extra option " -d lo0 ". Additionally you can write that output to a file using one more option " -o snoop500.pcap " and then use "Ethereal" tool to further analyse commuication
