I'm not a TCP/IP guru, but the problem is that there are TCP connections still
open when the link goes down. When the link is reestablished, your ISP usually
has assigned a different IP address ("IP dynamic address" means that the ISPs
assigns the IP from a pool of available addresses, and it's improbable to get
the same address in different calls), but the old connections still retain the
previous one. Since packet from these connections have the wrong IP address,
the reply never comes back, so these connections only terminate after a fairly
long TCP timeout. "RST-provoking" means that the kernel recognizes that the
packets have the wrong IP address and fakes a "RST" packet as a reply, so the
connection terminates immediately (RST=Reset, I think).
