Re: how to close a socket such that no packet will be sent by TCP to peer

Hi All,
I want a way by which application (or a kernel module working with
application) can close a socket fd
such that TCP will not try to send any pakcets over socket after that.
Not even RST,FIN, ACK.
If app can not do that , can kernel module do something. ??

The problem is also that , the IP adress that TCP connection was using
is no longer with this machine, and it should not send any packet for
that connection. I tried sending fabricated RST packets over raw
socket, but this does not work , as pakcet goes to different machine.
(which has got this machine's IP now.)

I have IP address for this machine, but do not know how i can stop
TCP from sending any packets .

Any suggestion ??

If you do not find the solution in the man pages of close,shutdown or
setsockopt, I guess you have no other way than writing your own TCP/IP
stack using raw sockets...
