TCP can send keep-alive messages to determine if the peer is still
responding. Normally these are sent (every 4 minutes) on idle
connections. Disabling keep-alives will prevent sending these
packets and make it impossible to detect dead connections. It
is not recommended that you change this setting.
NOTE that the unit will always respond to keep-alive packets.
Do you wish to DISABLE the TCP keep-alive packets?
