I think people just like to argue sometimes. The reality is different.
For all you people complaining: Just turn them on and I guarentee
you will not even notice the difference, except you will stop getting
( even the occassional ) stale internet server process. That is what
keepalives were designed to deal with. Keepalives are not supposed to
be a network watchdog, they are simply supposed to be a catch-all.
So having per-socket adjustment is kind of silly.
