IP-Connections
Where can I find more information about the different
TCP-states?
More about the different TCP states can be found in the
official TCP RFC: 793
Why do I see TCP-connections in TIME_WAIT state?
The TIME_WAIT state is a state that all closed connections
enter into. They aren't shown as associated with a specific process - however
during the time the socket is in TIME_WAIT the specific port can't be reused.
The TIME_WAIT is 240 seconds normally.
To adjust the TIME_WAIT have a look at the instructions and
explanations in this
Windows Magazine article.
