MVPsend 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
