I noticed something strange on my Hobbit server, though I'm not sure if it's
a problem or not. There are about 140 TIME_WAITs from the local IP of the
Hobbit server, and about 30 TIME_WAITs from localhost, all using port 1984.
They look something like this:
0 0 1.2.3.4:42389 1.2.3.4:1984 TIME_WAIT
0 0 1.2.3.4:42394 1.2.3.4:1984 TIME_WAIT
0 0 1.2.3.4:42399 1.2.3.4:1984 TIME_WAIT
0 0 1.2.3.4:42396 1.2.3.4:1984 TIME_WAIT
0 0 1.2.3.4:42397 1.2.3.4:1984 TIME_WAIT
0 0 127.0.0.1:42310 127.0.0.1:1984 TIME_WAIT
0 0 127.0.0.1:42309 127.0.0.1:1984 TIME_WAIT
0 0 127.0.0.1:42315 127.0.0.1:1984 TIME_WAIT
0 0 127.0.0.1:42322 127.0.0.1:1984 TIME_WAIT
0 0 127.0.0.1:42320 127.0.0.1:1984 TIME_WAIT
There are also a few on various other ports:
0 0 127.0.0.1:42246 127.0.0.1:29021 TIME_WAIT
0 0 127.0.0.1:42301 127.0.0.1:29023 TIME_WAIT
0 0 127.0.0.1:42362 127.0.0.1:29017 TIME_WAIT
0 0 127.0.0.1:29030 127.0.0.1:42380 TIME_WAIT
0 0 127.0.0.1:42348 127.0.0.1:29019 TIME_WAIT
Any idea why there should be so many of them, particularly on the localhost
address? And any idea if this looks abnormal or not?
