Revision history [back]

I have updated Issue 3403 with a comment. Without having delved deep into the internals of roscpp, Maybe the reported issue might have something to do with the time a closed socket spends in the TIME_WAIT state, which is configured by the tcp_fin_timeout parameter, that defaults to 60s:

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_fin_timeout
60
