keep_alive Property
When True, KEEPALIVE packets are enabled (for long connections).
Syntax
def get_keep_alive() -> bool: ... def set_keep_alive(value: bool) -> None: ...
keep_alive = property(get_keep_alive, set_keep_alive)
Default Value
FALSE
Remarks
The keep_alive 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.
