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
