Not directly relevant: Let me just observe that FIN_WAIT_2 is not a good feature of TCP - having a protocol that is not resistant against the other party ghosting you is an easy opening for a denial-of-service attack. The reason why we put keepalives into the protocol is exactly so that if the other party goes away without telling you, it's possible to recover the resources eventually. (a quick googling came up with https://medium.com/@WaterBucket/ms13-018-the-tcp-bug-that-made-windows-wait-and-wait-and-wait-0fc98816d12a as one description of the FIN_WAIT_2 issue) -- GitHub Notification of comment by alvestrand Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/webrtc-pc/issues/3090#issuecomment-3964718036 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
