13.6. Connection Timeouts

The settings in this section specify how long a connection can remain idle, ie. no data being sent
through it, before it is automatically closed. Please note that each connection has two timeout
values: one for each direction. A connection is closed if either of the two values reaches 0.

ConnLife_TCP_SYN

Specifies how long a not yet been fully established TCP connection may idle before being closed.

Default: 60 seconds

ConnLife_TCP

Specifies how long a fully established TCP connection may idle before being closed. Connections
become fully established once packets with their SYN flags off have traveled in both directions.

Default: 262144 seconds

ConnLife_TCP_FIN

Specifies how long a TCP connection about to close may idle before finally being closed.
Connections reach this state when a packet with its FIN flag on has passed in any direction.

Default: 80 seconds

ConnLife_UDP

Specifies how long UDP connections may idle before being closed. This timeout value is usually
low, as UDP has no way of signaling when the connection is about to close.

Default: 130 seconds

ConnLife_Ping

Specifies how long a Ping (ICMP ECHO) connection can remain idle before it is closed.

Default: 8 seconds

ConnLife_Other

Specifies how long connections using an unknown protocol can remain idle before it is closed.

Default: 130 seconds

ConnLife_IGMP

Connection lifetime for IGMP

Default: 12 seconds

AllowBothSidesToKeepConnAlive_UDP

The UDP Bidirectional keep-alive setting allows both sides to keep a UDP connection alive. The
default is for NetDefendOS to mark a connection as alive (not idle) every time data is sent from the
side that opened the connection. Connections that don't receive any data from the opening side
within the UDP lifetime will therefore be closed even if the other side continues to transmit data.
