Hi all

I was wondering if anyone know sometimes linux kernel seems does not
reply the ACK to the second FIN packet?
I tried it on Linux Ubuntu804Server 2.6.24-16-server #1 SMP Thu Apr 10
13:58:00 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

and here is the tcpdump log

<nop,nop,timestamp 68876196 405800659>

you can see at the end there is only one ACK packet and sometimes it
did. does any one know the possible reason?
I am asking this because with a high traffic server, it caused lots'
of connection in TIME_WAIT state, and i was suspecting that's causing
the issue.

please kindly CC to my email address. thanks
