   That would make ECONNRESET both meaningless and mislabeled,   
   wouldn't it?   
      
   As far as I know, ECONNRESET says the connection is irrevocably lost,   
   and there's nothing you can do about it.  And you also don't know   
   exactly what the peer application's state was before the problem.

   PS. You write "TCP/IP", but you mean TCP, right?
