[ProgSoc] TCP port reuse
Gday,
I have a program that listens on a socket. When the program crashes, if
I restart it on solaris it can't bind to the same port for about 4
minutes. However on Windows it can bind to the same port straight away.
Why is the behaviour different on Windows and Solaris?
I understand this can be controlled on Solaris using the
tcp_time_wait_interval. However the manual says not to reduce it below
60s. What is the best way to avoid this delay when restarting my
application? I don't want to change port numbers.
Cheers,
Jay.
