Description

A bug in d-p tests [1] arises because there is no way to break connections in n-t-tcp. d-p has a patch that workarounds the problem: haskell-distributed/distributed-process#246.

The best solution is probably to have n-t-tcp implement breakConnection.

Research direction

Start by reading the n-t-tcp transport code and the breakConnection expectation described in distributed-process#434. Review the workaround in distributed-process#246 and the d-p failure in distributed-process#250; done means n-t-tcp provides breakConnection and the affected d-p tests no longer need the workaround.
