Line 1: A TCP connection is referred to as ''half-open'' when the station at one end of that TCP connection has crashed, or has otherwise removed the socket without formally notifying the other end of the TCP connection. Note: A common misconception throughout the Internet is that the term TCP half-open applies to a partially-completed TCP handshake state. A better term for this unsynchronized kind of socket state is an [[Embryonic connection\|embryonic]] state. == See also ==
