TCP Keep Alive

Attribute

KeepAlive (KA)

Purpose

Specifies whether the driver enables TCPKeepAlive. TCPKeepAlive maintains idle TCP connections by periodically passing packets between the client and server. If either the client or server does not respond to a packet, the connection is considered inactive and is terminated. In addition, TCPKeepAlive prevents valid idle connections from being disconnected by firewalls and proxies by maintaining network activity.

Valid Values

0 | 1

Behavior

If set to 0 (Disabled), the driver does not enable TCPKeepAlive.
If set to 1 (Enabled), the driver enables TCPKeepAlive.

Default

0 (Disabled)
