See the answer of Michi to Jon Biggar's response in comp.object.corba.

I would agree with Michi that there is a difference between two situations:
1. application gets error trying to write to a socket (TRANSIENT)
2. applications gets error trying to read the replay from socket 
(COMM_FAILURE)
I'm not a TCP/IP expert, so I don't know is it always possible to 
distinguish between
these two situations?

Cheers,
Sergei
