We have a client running in a Windows Container in OpenShift. This client makes TCP Connections to another server.

After certain 10 minutes of Idle, the connection is getting timeout.

Not Sure how to debug this and I am not able to add any tcpdump inside the container.

I used "netstat" from the container to see the IP connection status

The source IP after certain amount of time goes to TIME_WAIT state. Initially it is in Established state.
