View source for Socket keep-alive timeouts


There are a number of tunable socket parameters that can be modified via [[FWCONFIG|FWCONFIG]] file<br/>

'''tcp_keepalive_time''' - Connection Idle Time in seconds before socket starts sending keep-alive messages.<br/>
'''tcp_keepalive_intvl''' - Time in seconds between keep-alive messages.<br/>
'''tcp_keepalive_probes''' - Number of (lost) keep-alive messages before connection is considered as dropped and socket is disconnected . <br/>
 Keep-alive Timeout (secs) =  tcp_keepalive_time + tcp_keepalive_intvl * tcp_keepalive_probes.<br/>
 '''Example:'''<br/>
 ipaddressmask dhcp
 sleep 20
 tcp_keepalive_time=2
 tcp_keepalive_intvl=1
 tcp_keepalive_probes=3<br/>
{{Note/Important|
tcp_keepalive_time, tcp_keepalive_intvl and tcp_keepalive_probes are global and will affect all TCP/IP sockets.<br/>
