If it remains so for a long time, it probably indicates some issue in the code. If this was Tomcat, I would suspect an object instance containing a socket, with the object having been discarded without closing the socket first, and the discarded object sitting on the heap waiting to be garbage-collected. In my experience, these things just pile up, and when there are enough of them (a couple of hundred ?), you may reach a stage where the system's network stack becomes unresponsive, totally. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org Connaught plc is a FTSE 250 company.
