Hello All,

We have improved our scan technology to help you find the drivers correctly. We know that there are still some instances that you still can not get the correct drivers. Please submit a ticket to us in our contact page. To save time for both , please always send us your device manager screenshot, that will give us a lot of information to narrow down your driver problem.

That’s it.

Too many connections in TIME_WAIT state when using netstat -na

Applications that handle a huge number of TCP connections, either as a server, or as a client, will often see a large number of sockets in TIME_WAIT state.
The sockets in TIME_WAIT can be seen with the “netstat -epn –tcp ” command.
If the number of TIME_WAIT sockets gets too large, your address space will be exhausted, causing a disruption of TCP traffic.
If you try a little Googling, you may be find tcp_fin_timeout option .
Do not be confused by the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fin_timeout config item. The FIN TIMEOUT is not the same as the TIMEWAIT length.

You can force the kernel to reuse the TIME_WAIT buckets though, by setting the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_recycle entry to 1. I have tested this, and it works: very few TIME_WAIT entries will be present when using this setting.

# echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_tw_recycle
or
add net.ipv4.tcp_tw_recycle = 1 to /etc/sysctl.conf .
