Those connections are very likely to be in TIME_WAIT state.

Yes, detecting peer failure early is exactly what AMQP 0-9-1 heartbeats
were added for:

Alternatively you can try enabling SO_LINGER on the socket (if your client
allows modifying socket options).

See http://rabbitmq.1065348.n5.nabble.com/Long-timeout-if-server-host-becomes-unreachable-td30275.html,
which is the same question about a specific client.
