Hello,

Can anyone explain a little how tcp_keepalives work? 
Is tcp sending keepalive packets to the other side 
waiting for a reply? 
I actually need to know how can I set the stale time at 
5min for example so that if there is no traffic on the
socket for 5 min. it should close it.

thank you,
veaceslav
