GOAL:
How to configure the TCP Keep Alive Parameter on SCO Unix
FACT(s) (Environment):
SCO Unix
FIX:
A keepalive message in Internet communications is a message sent among nodes when no data traffic has been detected for a given period of time and thus keeps the link alive.
In order to see the current setting use the command:
'inconfig tcp_keepidle'
By default the keep alive interval is 2 hours (7200 seconds). If you wish to change the parameter, use the command:
'inconfig tcp_keepidle <number of seconds>'
