Fedora Users — Re: TCP/IP stack questions on timeouts and dropping connections.

Yep, all understood there. And lord knows I with I was using apache here except I'm using a proprietary application that I can't hack on and so the question about if it was possible at an OS level.

It's linux, of course there is a way. I was just hoping perhaps it might be a sysctl call rather than C code. :)

option will work fine on the case of a WebServer.

I think you can work on a script that get a netstat
and get from there the connections on TIME_WAIT and
meassure the time somehow and given some time, kill
the connection.

Subject: TCP/IP stack questions on timeouts and

dropping connections.

Hi all,

Quick question.  Is there a way (kernel parameter

or iptables

hack ) to drop connections that last over an

arbitrary time

value. Even better would be the ability to

restrict that rule

to a specific TCP port.  So for example drop

connections to

port 80 that have been established for over 20

seconds?

A little odd to want to do this I know...

Often times this is controlled by the application. 
In your example if
using apache you can use the TimeOut directive.  I
would assume you only
want to drop connections that are idle?  I do not
know of any way to set
this in the kernel.
