Bostsrv Port in Use Error
Additional Packages Required for Red Hat Linux 6.0 x64
Only
March 2013
If Boston host service is started too soon after being stopped, a port
remains in use preventing H.323 initialization. As a workaround,
wait a few minutes before restarting. This affects applications
running Brooktrout H.323 call control on Linux RedHat.
Shutting down the Boston host service while TCP connections are
active will cause those connections to go into a TIME-WAIT state.
The TIME-WAIT state is a period of time equal to double the
maximum segment life (MSL) time. This gives enough time to ensure
the ACK sent in response to a FIN is received by the remote end.
A problem will be encountered if the Boston Host service is started
before all connections in the TIME-WAIT state have completed. In
this case the Boston Host service will fail to initialize H.323 call
control and the application will be unable to send or receive H.323
calls.
To determine the TIME-WAIT duration in seconds on your Linux
system enter the following:
cat /proc/sys/net/ipv[46]/tcp_fin_timeout
The following packages are required for the Dialogic Brooktrout
SDK to be used on Red Hat Linux 6.0 x64 systems. It does not affect
any x86 systems, and it does not affect any versions earlier than 6.0.
For runtime-only systems:
libstdc++-4.4.4-13.el6.i686
For development systems:
libstdc++-devel-4.4.4-13.el6.i686
glibc-devel-2.12-1.7.el6.i686
These packages are on your Linux installation media.
