Does ACE send a RST packet when it reach inactivity timeout?

[kilsoo.choi]

Hi experts

I have some questions about ace's behavier.

1st one is, Does ACE send a RST packet when it reach to inactivity timeout?

2nd, Does half-closed timeout works properly with "no normalization"?

3rd, How does ACE treat the packets there is no flows in conn table? Drop or forwarding?

Thanks

Hi Kilsoo,

1st one is, Does ACE send a RST packet when it reach to inactivity timeout?

----yes, the ACE is going to send a RST if the client or server tries to do something over a connection that was already timed out

3rd, How does ACE treat the packets there is no flows in conn table? Drop or forwarding?

drops the connection

Let me do some research for your second question

Hi Cesar

I'm very appreciate of your reply and help.

I want to correct my 1st qeustion.

My 1st qeustion is Does ACE send a RST packet when it erase connection list from conn table after idle timeout?

Thanks

HI,

If I'm not wrong the ACE will send the RST only if the client or server try to send something over that connection but let me confirm this.

Thank you Cesar

If you're not wrong ACE doesn't send a RST  packet when it erase the conn list from conn table after idle timed out but it se nd a RST packet when client or server try to send a data over a connection that is already timed out.

Thank you for your help
