[Live-devel] RTSP socket from a server remains open after a client disconnection

[GENESTIER Denis]

Hi,

I am facing an odd behavior of the RTSP server and it is something that looks like a bug to me.
To easily reproduce it, just use a RTSP server (live555MediaServer on a CentOS distro for exemple) on a computer A and connect it with a client (like VLC) on a second computer B.
Then if you disconnect the Ethernet wire of the computer B, the server will close the session, the RTP and RTCP sockets (in UDP mode), but not the RTSP connection (in TCP) : the socket remains open (seen with lsof -a -i tcp -p <live555MediaServerPID>).
After the reconnection, a new RTSP/TCP socket will be opened but the old one remains established "ad vitam aeternam" despite it is not used anymore.

>From my point of view, it is a resource leak.

What do you think about it? Am I doing something wrong? Is there something to tune in the OS to close this socket?

Best regards,
Denis.
