We have a windows 2012 server 64 bit Datacenter editon running on vmware virtual machine.
We tested an application where it would be listening to a certain port i.e. 10205.
The test sends thousands connection to the listening port.
We can see those connections through our firewall and on the Resource Monitor TCP Connections view.
After the test is completed, we stop all simulated connections , kept the application running , but the Resource Monitor TCP Connections view still shows some of the connections several days after , it seems the port or socket is not released.
Is there any settings/configuration that needs to be set so connections are released?
