send fin packet when got reset packet
Hi guys !
I have a question!
can i configure send fin packet when got reset packet ?
is it possible?
thank you!!
loose close is based on FIN flag. The RST receiver must close the connection. https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc793

It will not make sense. If a remote peer sends RST, it means that the remote peer already closed connection and is not willing to continue talking.
FIN means that " I finished talking to you, but I'll still listen to everything you have to say until you say that you're done"
On top of that, as per RFC793, the receiver of a RST aborts the connection and goes to the CLOSED state. So, sending FIN in that case will break RFC rules
aha thank you!
If I don't use the loose close option, do I still have a connection when I receive a reset packet?
