Sure, however, what is happening in the real world is that it is your
application which keeps track of open file descriptors and the kernel frees
them when the application dies. The problem here, is that you have associate
your socket to a user context to be able to destroy it when the user context
disapears and the user context in ns3 is the Application class.
