Issue

• Why do I see SYN_RECV state on httpd port 80 after client establishes a connection?

Sample log:

client(192.168.122.22)
[root@client /]# telnet 192.168.122.77 80 &
[1] 6325
[root@client /]# Trying 192.168.122.77...
Connected to 192.168.122.77.
Escape character is '^]'.


[1]+  Stopped                 telnet 192.168.122.77 80
[root@client /]# netstat -antp | grep :80

[root@client /]# 

Note: The three-way handshake is completed.

[root@server /]# netstat -antp | grep :80
