Socket create timeout

Hi all
I am not sure if this is a topic here:
I have POD in K8 that creates sockets to 2 hosts. One of them in Alma 9, second is amazon linux2.

It seems that sometimes i am not able to create a socket only to Alma linux. I check and i need around 12 sec to success. SeLinux is disabled. I dont have such a problem on amazon linux 2.

Do you know what might be the root cause?

Thanks

Hi
Anyone had similar issue? Seems that Alma 8 is ‘more’ stable for socket creation than Alma 9.

Any ideas how to solve it?
