I'm trying to understand the netstat tool in Windows correctly and using it to see the status of TCP sockets on my computer. I have a few questions.
1. How do I find out how long sockets are in a waiting state after an application that opened them closed them again?
2. Why is this waiting state?
3. What happens if a new client tries to connect to a socket when an older client is still in a waiting state?
Those sockets that are in a waiting state are really ports that the computer is listening to, right? Waiting for the applications which use that port to run, or am I incorrect?
