i see this alot sometimes when viewing the socket call debug output. what exactly does this mean and why am i seeing it?


NSOCK INFO [5.3390s] nsock_trace_handler_callback(): Callback: READ ERROR [An existing connection was forcibly closed 
by the remote host.  (10054)] for EID 42 [



i am assuming it is a RST. is it my machine? the host i am probing? do we get this due to protocol mismatches or 
deformed packet payloads? just curious. i don't see alot after that other than the port could still be open or a 
generic "syn-ack" for a response
