Re: [twsocket] Don't trust routers!

We -in our code- implement/interpret a connection timeout as idle timeout. 
Could this be the case in Lancom as well?

 i.e. Lancom, I was told that it has an option ConnectionAge to specify
 a connection time-out. According to the manual the connection will be
 closed when the timeout expires. But nothing like that happened. Instead,
 after the time-out expired a client application happily sent data that
 was never acknowledged.

It's an idle time-out yes.

Perhaps the TCP connection has some end-to-end keep-alive packets sent which 
does not leave the stream idle?

It's no problem to work around by sending NOOP packets,
and/or by implementing a custom time-out in the application protocol.
Only it's annoying to spend time to find the reason of such dead lines
(customers like to claim that your software is the culprit).
