Hi, Our network firewalls have a policy of dropping all connections that are idle for 30 minutes. That is causing our VM-to-VM link to drop and restart throughout the day. The network guy asked if there is an RSCS keepalive option, since changing firewall policies is like moving mountains. TCPIP already had keepalive in effect with INTERVAL 20 , SENDGARBAGE FALSE. I set SENDGARBAGE TRUE on one of the VMs, and now the drops happen about every 23 minutes, i.e., I somehow made it worse. ITO value is at the default setting (100). Does anyone have experience with this?
