Linux and TCP keepalive

L4 Transporter

Hi

 

Is there some reason that PA have a 1 hour keepalive value, where linux has a 2 hour timeout value.

 

Whats considered best practices ... reset the PA to 2 hours or bring down the linux keepalive value to say 1800

@Alex_Samad,

Are you having an issue with the firewall being set to 60 minutes for the timeout instead of 120 like on linux? The firewall closes things a bit earlier to keep the session count down on the firewalls, and 60 minutes was tested and verified to cause a very small amount of issues. 

I'm guessing that this would be more of an internal application issue; and if it is I would recommend making a custom app-id with a higher timeout value.
