--- Comment #66 from Michael Tuexen <tuexen@freebsd.org> ---
(In reply to slw from comment #65)
> This is wrong behaviour. This is cause lost of server data.
No, the loss of data is caused by the application calling close() *before*
incoming user data arrived. So the TCP stack on the server has to drop that
user data.

> pwrite();
> close();

> This is graceful termination.
Sure. This is what the application triggers. However, when user data arrives
after
the close call, this gets ungraceful, since this user data can't be deliver=
ed
to
the user anymore. To avoid this, the application could call shutdown(...,
SHUT_WR)
to trigger the sending of the FIN, then process incoming data until a FIN f=
rom
the
peer arrives and then calling close(). But the application didn't. This wou=
ld
be
more in line of how RFC 793 describes a connection termination. Please note
that
the CLOSE primitive in RFC 793 maps to a shutdown(..., SHUT_WR) system call,
not
to the close() system call. Bad naming...=20

I don't see text in RFC 793, where it is required that you continue to proc=
ess
a connection after you know that it failed. I think the RFC doesn't cover t=
he
case
where the application says "I don't want to receive anymore".
