There is none. A connection enters CLOSE-WAIT state when a FIN has
been received from remote and stays there until the connection is
closed locally, too.

There is something called tcp_close_wait_interval in Solaris,so we
don't have anything similar in Linux ?

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A CLOSE-WAIT TIMER. RTFM RFC793

The 'tcp_close_wait_interval' setting in Solaris never had anything to
do with the CLOSE_WAIT state. The 'tcp_close_wait_interval' tunes how
long to wait for the other end to close, which is associated with the
TIME_WAIT state.

I think this is the most confusing stuff in TCP-IP state diagram ! I
had tried to dig more, but now out of focus !
