Line 1: The term ''half-open'', when referring to [[Transmission Control Protocol\|TCP]] connections, has two distinct meanings. According to RFC 793, TCP connection is referred to as ''half-open'' when the ~~station~~host 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~~. Nowadays, however, the term ''half-open connection'' is most often used to describe [[embryonic connection]]s.
