What is the system process (PID 0)?

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.
