I'm talking about statistics that I recently committed to CURRENT only:

# netstat -sp tcp | grep TIME-WAIT
        3 times connection in TIME-WAIT responded with ACK
        0 times connection in TIME-WAIT was actively recycled
        0 times connection in TIME-WAIT responded with RST

They show were the TIME-WAITs actually used.
