Re: [BEHAVE] NAT64: clarification on RST handling in V6 FIN RCV state

Hi Murari,

I see what you mean now (and my previous answer was wrong, so please 
disregard it)

Yes it makes sense.

Do you have any hint that this will be a common case i.e. receiving a 
RST as reply to a FIN?

If it is not expected to be common, i guess the normal thing will be to 
receive a FIN on the other direction right away, so it may not worth the 
trouble.

Regards, marcelo
