What is the effect of "SSL tcp-timeout" timer?

Hi,

What is the effect of this timer below?

application {

ssl {

tcp-timeout 1800;

}

I have a netconf over TLS issue in Firewall happened in every 1 hour interval. The same TCP session communication can not be kept after every 1 hour. The TCP packet becomes TCP aged-out seen in Firewall.

After changing this timer to 7200, then such issue is not seen anymore.

What's the effect/purpose of this timer?

Default timeout for duration of TCP session when application is recognised as 'ssl'

The default value is 1800 seconds.

Does it mean that any SSL traffic lasting for over 1800 seconds then the further coming SSL traffic would be dropped?
