I think the issue is that nginx accumulate ESTABLISHED and CLOSE_WAIT and FIN_WAIT1 >From successive netstat -apn listing I see that it is the CLOSE_WAIT that is sky-rocketing first then eventually ESTABLISHED and FIN_WAIT1 The million dollar question is why Apache httpd is handling this situation of attack quite well on the same server while having Nginx as a reverse proxy hangs the web stack by TCP state exhaustion? The symptoms are similar to what is mentioned at https://blog.cloudflare.com/this-is-strictly-a-violation-of-the-tcp-specification/ Only thing is that I don't know what must be changed in the config etc to fix this problem in nginx Posted at Nginx Forum: https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,282613,282645#msg-282645 _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
