Hi,
I need some information about the TCP implementation. I didn't find any
information in my Linux Kernel book or in any other tutorial about TCP and I
do not really understand the tcp.c

The kernel should remove SYN packets if it doesn't recive the final ACK. But
where is that implemented in the Linux Kernel?

example

host server
      -----SYN-----> remember SYN
      <----ACK------
 host shuts down
                               timeout for the threewayhandshake
                                 removing waiting status
