Maximum segment lifetime
text:
Maximum segment lifetime or MSL is the time a TCP segment can exist in the internetwork system. It was defined in 1981 to be 2 minutes. The specification calls for this value to be used for the "time-wait" interval, the minimum time a system must keep the socket in the TIME_WAIT state before designating the socket closed, thus preventing the socket from being re-used before that interval.
