Hi Christian,

We see that it never times out, i.e remain in CLOSE_WAIT state forever.

Also, it is seen irrespective of whether we use loop back ip or a regular
eth0 IP.

>From my reading, I understand the following and we don't see that FIN is
received from Client but , we don't send FIN.
CLOSE_WAIT means that the local end of the connection has received a FIN
from the other end, but the OS is waiting for the program at the local end
to actually close its connection.
