Subject: [Tsvwg] TCP RST w/o closing connection

Hi

Is anybody aware of any TCP protocol specific issues with a TCP
implementation that sends a RST segment after
the application has done a full close, when it receives data segments
(i.e in states such as FIN_WAIT_1, FIN_WAIT_2
etc during active close),  but hangs on to the connection for a timeout
period before deallocating the connection resources?

The timeout is an attempt to wait for any more data segments in the
pipe  to show up and respond to each of them with a RST before
deallocating the connection.
