Hi all,
we are writing tcp/ip applications using sockets. As usual we have a client
and a server. We observed that if the machine on which the client is running
crashes the socket on the server part remains connected as if nothing wrong
happend. This is a problem. Of course there are solutions to this but
we would like to know if this is normal behavior of sockets.
Another problem is that if server goes down our clients try to reconnect it
for sometimes and then is not possible to restart the server because
the port is busy (connection refused). Do you have any idea how to resolve
this??
Thanks in advance, I'll summarize.
