Description

the administration guide has below line to set how long sockets stay in a TIMED_WAIT state when closed:

sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.netfilter.ip_conntrack_tcp_timeout_time_wait="1"

That is for kernel 2.6. For kernel 3, the property is:

net.netfilter.nf_conntrack_tcp_timeout_time_wait

I believe the value should still be "1"
