   The best way by far is to do it with the cooperation of whatever   
   server process is running on port 1234.  I.e. there should be a   
   command you can send it "hey, kill all your connections with   
   11.22.33.44".   
      
   I don't think there's an easy general way to kill existing TCP   
   connections from the outside (or more generally, introduce a fatal   
   error on another process' file descriptor).
