HN discussionIf you are part of the HFT crowd who uses the JVM then you know who the author, Cliff Click, is. His Blogs (former and current) are goldmines for high performance JVM information. http://www.azulsystems.com/blog/author/cliff http://www.cliffc.org/blog/ I had one CTO of a public HFT firm tell me that short of FPGA's Azul's pause-less GC ( https://www.azul.com/products/zing/pgc/ ) was the biggest performance win they'…

HN discussionNo, it's not even that. The linked article ( http://www.cliffc.org/blog/2013/08/15/tcp-is-unreliable/ ) at the bottom tells you what's actually going on. The only thing slightly fishy is that the peer application didn't receive any connection attempt, but if you're anyway quite overloaded, e.g. running out of file descriptors, that may well happen.
