Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Configuration
Maximum
connection
assurance
retransmissions
This is the maximum number of times that TCP will
transmit a connection assurance packet to a
non-responding remote system. Together with the
connection assurance interval, this value defines the
time it will take for an idle connection to abort if the
remote TCP fails to respond. Unlike the retransmission
timer, a backoff algorithm is not used. Therefore, the
timeout period is calculated as follows:
CAinterval + (CAinterval * MAXCARTX)
where CAinterval is the connection assurance
interval and MAXCARTX is the maximum connection
assurance retransmissions.
Default value: 4
Range: 0–999
