From 6c37e5de456987f5bc80879afde05aa120784095 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Flavio Leitner Date: Mon, 26 Apr 2010 18:33:27 +0000 Subject: TCP: avoid to send keepalive probes if receiving data MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit RFC 1122 says the following: ... Keep-alive packets MUST only be sent when no data or acknowledgement packets have been received for the connection within an interval. ... The acknowledgement packet is reseting the keepalive timer but the data packet isn't. This patch fixes it by checking the timestamp of the last received data packet too when the keepalive timer expires.
