CentOS - 2110 TIME_WAIT connections, is this normal?

Question

linux

Good day.
I would be very grateful if you could tell me, a few thousand connections on port 80, is this normal? The number of connections sometimes reaches 3000.
Only Apache is running on the server.
netstat -na | grep :80 | wc -l
1746
netstat -n|grep TIME_WAIT | wc -l
1649
ps aux | grep httpd |wc -l
61
TCP/IP Configuration

net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_time=60
net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_intvl=15
net.ipv4.tcp_keepalive_probes=3
net.ipv4.tcp_max_syn_backlog=2048

There are no problems on the server at the moment, everything works fine. I'm just curious.

Answer 1

several thousand connections on port 80, this is normal

It is quite normal if you are waiting for them, i.e. you have a web server there for example.
None of these options are relevant for connections in the TIME_WAIT state.
