MSL is Maximum Segment Lifetime, the maximum survival time of a message. It is the longest time that any message can exist on the network. If it exceeds this time, the message will be discarded. Because TCP messages are based on the IP protocol, and there is a TTL field in the IP header, which is the maximum number of routes that an IP datagram can pass through. This value decreases by 1 for each router that processes it. When this value is 0, the datagram will be discarded, and an ICMP message will be sent to notify the source host. The difference between MSL and TTL: The unit of MSL is time, while TTL is the number of routing hops. Therefore, MSL should be greater than or equal to the time when TTL is 0 to ensure that the message has been naturally destroyed. TIME_WAIT waits for 2 times of MSL. A more reasonable explanation is that there may be data packets from the sender in the network. When these data packets from the sender are processed by the receiver, they will send a response to the other party, so it takes 2 times the time to wait for a round trip. For example, if the passive closing party does not receive the last ACK message of the disconnection, it will trigger a timeout and resend the Fin message. After the other party receives the FIN, it will resend ACK to the passive closing party. The total time is exactly 2 MSLs. The 2MSL time starts from the time the client sends ACK after receiving FIN. If the client receives a FIN message resent by the server during the TIME-WAIT time because the client's ACK is not transmitted to the server, the 2MSL time will be restarted. In Linux, 2MSL defaults to 60 seconds, so 1MSL is 30 seconds. The Linux system stays in TIME_WAIT for a fixed 60 seconds. Its name defined in the Linux kernel code is TCP_TIMEWAIT_LEN:
If you want to change the length of TIME_WAIT, you can only modify the value of TCP_TIMEWAIT_LEN in the Linux kernel code and recompile the Linux kernel. The TIME-WAIT state is needed mainly for two reasons:
