The task

In TCP networking, when a server closes connections, the sockets enter a `TIME_WAIT` state (lasting typically 2×MSL, around 60 seconds). In high-throughput server environments handling many short-lived connections, this can result in tens or hundreds of thousands of sockets in `TIME_WAIT` state simultaneously.
