Lets say we have host A 22.12.12.12 and host B 99.99.99.99. Host B is a server listening on port 3055. Host A connects to the server B and sends data. Now neither host A or B send anything to each other for 1 hour. Is the connection still there? Is there a timeout for the connection? I do not see anything in the RFC's about keepalives for TCP connections, so how would Host B know the difference between host A not sneding data for a long time or host A crashes? If I unplug the power on host A while the TCP connection is up and leave it unplugged for a week and will the server still have the the connection in its tables when I do a netstat -an? I doubt it, so I figure the server must have its own timeout on idle connections?
Anyone known any real values for these timeouts for various OS's? Thanks.
