TCP_KEEPALIVE

Is the TCP_KEEPALIVE command to change KEEPALIVE delay supported?

If it is, does it affect the whole stack or a perticular socket connection?

Hello Mario,

Yes this is supported.

The TCP_KEEPALIVE specifies the idle time in seconds for the connection
before TCP starts sending “keepalive” probes. The default value is 2
hours. This option is effective only when the SO_KEEPALIVE socket option
is enabled.

Regards,
Dave B.
