There are lot of factors   first see whether server returns the result  then check between server and client   rectify them from server side first then check the writing condition between server and client     server side rectify the time outs between the datalayer and server  from client side rectify the time out and number of available connections

To expand on BalusC s answer  any scenario where the sender continues to write after the peer has stopped reading and closed its socket will produce this exception  as will the peer closing while it still had unread data in its own socket receive buffer  In other words  an application protocol error  For example  if you write something to the peer that the peer doesn t understand  and then it closes its socket in protest  and you then continue to write  the peer s TCP stack will issue an RST  which results in this exception and message at the sender

java io IOException  Connection reset by peer   In my case  the problem was with PUT requests  GET and POST were passing successfully    Communication went through VPN tunnel and ssh connection  And there was a firewall with default restrictions on PUT requests    PUT requests haven t been passing throughout  to the server      Problem was solved after exception was added to the firewall for my IP address

java io IOException in Netty means your game server tries to send data to a client  but that client has closed connection to your server   And that exception is not the only one  There re several others  See BadClientSilencer in Xitrum  I had to add that to prevent those errors from messing my log file

It can also mean that the server is completely inaccessible - I was getting this when trying to hit a server that was offline My client was configured to connect to localhost 3000  but no server was running on that port
