If the connection is already established and the firewall does an idle connection drop, none of the two communication partners are made aware of that. Communication packets apart from maybe RST and FIN are simply dropped by the firewall. As a consequence the sending side starts to do TCP retransmits which depending on OS and TCP tuning can take several minutes before the TCP stack finally gives up (I vaguely remember 7 minutes for some version of Solaris). -- Configure bugmail: https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
