keepAlive (property)

When True, KEEPALIVE packets are enabled (for long connections).

- (BOOL)keepAlive

- (void)setKeepAlive:(BOOL)newKeepAlive

Default Value

FALSE

The KeepAlive enables the SO_KEEPALIVE option on the socket. This option prevents long connections from timing out in case of inactivity.

Please note that system TCP/IP stack implementations are not required to support SO_KEEPALIVE.
