Hello All,

I have a question regarding a ping program
in Java. I am trying to improve the performance
of an infinite ping loop by keeping the socket
open and using SO_KEEPALIVE option instead of
opening and closing a client socket once every
few seconds.

I have been looking at the documentation trying
to find out how I can change the default probe
timing of 2 hours for SO_KEEPALIVE but been out
of luck. SO far the only implementation I know of
that allows the SO_KEEPALIVE interval to be set
per connection is SVR4.2.

Any hint on how I can do this on Linux relatively
easily? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
I would also like to hear any other suggestion
you may have for enhancing the performance of
the ping loop as well as seeing any code snippet
or pointer.

Thanks in advance.

HY
