# `--keepalive-time`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This option sets the time a connection needs to remain idle before sending
|
||
|
|
keepalive probes and the time between individual keepalive probes. It is
|
||
|
|
currently effective on operating systems offering the `TCP_KEEPIDLE` and
|
||
|
|
`TCP_KEEPINTVL` socket options (meaning Linux, recent AIX, HP-UX and more).
|
||
|
|
Keepalive is used by the TCP stack to detect broken networks on idle
|
||
|
|
connections. The number of missed keepalive probes before declaring the
|
||
|
|
connection down is OS dependent and is commonly 9 or 10. This option has no
|
||
|
|
effect if --no-keepalive is used.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If unspecified, the option defaults to 60 seconds.
