Re: [lwip-users] A closed pcb stays for 120seconds in the tcp_tw_pcbs. Right or wrong?

Hi Kieran,

Thanks for responding.

Line 155 of tcp.h reads like this,

#define TCP_MSL 60000  /* The maximum segment lifetime
in microseconds */

I guess the comment is wrong then. It should be
milliseconds instead of microseconds.

-Mike.
