We had this problem once in the past.
It was a combination of heavy network trafic over one NIC.
we splitted the network over 2 NOC's and reinstalled AIM*OPC.
This resolved the issue.

This may be a bit off track but..
On our unix boxes we have always had
/usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_close_wait_interval 2400
In user_apps.dat
This goes back 10+ years but it was a fix for data for windows flat lining
I cant remember much more detail but if we forgot to put it back in after an 
update the AW would fill up with CLOSE WAIT's

Hi guys,
I'm still trying to determine what's wrong with our AIM*OPC.
I'm looking at the an_init.tcp file from /opt/aim/bin and SRVONE (the AW I am 
on) is the only Foxboro workstation listed in the file.  So there goes that 
theory.


I did a little reading on the CLOSE_WAIT tcpip condition and this is what I 
found.

CLOSE_WAIT
Indicates that the server has received the first FIN signal from the client and 
the connection is in the process of being closed

So this essentially means that this is a state where socket is waiting for the 
application to execute close()

A socket can be in CLOSE_WAIT state indefinitely until the application closes 
it.
Faulty scenarios would be like filedescriptor leak, server not executing 
close() on sockets, leading to pile up of close_wait sockets.

Although I understand all the words, I don't know how to fix it, or even if 
it's the real problem. But it is certainly suspicious.

We will continue to investigate.

Thanks to all who have responded.
David
