TIME_wait or syn_wait_1 1

Read RFC 793 as background - excerpt below.
The time-wait is when a tcp connection is already closed but the server will make sure that all data is recieved. This can be a problem on typically a web server where 1000's connectiosn are established and closed.
You can force the server to release these resources by sending a RST, instead of a normal session tear-down, e.g Fin - Fin/Ack etc.
You can also change the time-wait-delay in the registry / kernel to release the socket resources quicker than 2-minutes.
Hope this helps

Current Segment Variables
SEG.SEQ - segment sequence number
SEG.ACK - segment acknowledgment number
SEG.LEN - segment length
SEG.WND - segment window
SEG.UP - segment urgent pointer
SEG.PRC - segment precedence value
A connection progresses through a series of states during its lifetime. The states are: LISTEN, SYN-SENT, SYN-RECEIVED,ESTABLISHED, FIN-WAIT-1, FIN-WAIT-2, CLOSE-WAIT, CLOSING, LAST-ACK,TIME-WAIT, and the fictional state CLOSED. CLOSED is fictional because it represents the state when there is no TCB, and therefore, no connection. Briefly the meanings of the states are:
LISTEN - represents waiting for a connection request from any remote TCP and port.
SYN-SENT - represents waiting for a matching connection request after having sent a connection request.
SYN-RECEIVED - represents waiting for a confirming connection request acknowledgment after having both received and sent aconnection request.
ESTABLISHED - represents an open connection, data received can be delivered to the user. The normal state for the data transfer phase of the connection.
FIN-WAIT-1 - represents waiting for a connection termination request from the remote TCP, or an acknowledgment of the connection termination request previously sent.
FIN-WAIT-2 - represents waiting for a connection termination request from the remote TCP.
CLOSE-WAIT - represents waiting for a connection termination request from the local user.
CLOSING - represents waiting for a connection termination request acknowledgment from the remote TCP.
LAST-ACK - represents waiting for an acknowledgment of the connection termination request previously sent to the remote TCP(which includes an acknowledgment of its connection termination request).
TIME-WAIT - represents waiting for enough time to pass to be sure the remote TCP received the acknowledgment of its connection termination request.
