DCO servers do not handle full --ifconfig-pool gracefully
Describe the bug TCP servers do not properly expire clients, so the pool fills, and when the pool is full, clients can no longer connect and the syslog is full of "DCO errors"
To Reproduce run a TCP server, connect a few 10.000 clients with different usernames (=new IP address assignment per client), disconnect right away
Expected behavior dco-linux needs to inform userland about closed TCP sessions, but until this can be done, userland should log this in a more useful way (see below)
Version information (please complete the following information):
