Subject: OS/TCP behavior on client crashes (for send sockets)

From: [email-masked]

What is the expected behaviour of TCP when there is an app that has a socket in an established state, but the app crashes abruptly without sending a FIN out?. Would the OS ensure that a RST gets sent out when the cleanup for the app takes place. Or there is no action taken when the OS reclaims the process' socket descriptors?

Thanks
