Reuse closed TCP ports faster (TcpTimedWaitDelay)

NetworkAdvanced riskReboot requiredReversible

Sets TcpTimedWaitDelay = 30 (seconds, default 120/240). Shortens how long a closed connection sits in TIME_WAIT before its port can be reused, which pairs well with the wider port range above for connection-heavy workloads. Reboot recommended.
