If there is a firewall dropping the server’s connection reset packet, does the resend? Does it just send the packet and forget about it, only re-sending if the client tries using that connection that the server closed?
In the absence of other stimuli, a TCP Reset should only be sent once. There is no acknowledgement for it, so the server has no way to know it was dropped.
In the case of a client trying to maintain the connection, the server would send another Reset, but that won’t matter if the firewall keeps dropping them
