Does that mean we will get timeput parameters _per service_ instead of
global ones? Hooray! When can I test? :)

eh, I got it form /proc:
# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_keepalive_time
7200
And yes, I am talking about Linux clients. I didn't for win yet.
[FYI: http://cryp.to/publications/masquerading-idle-connections/ to see
what I mean with the probes: "... whether a connection needs a
keep-alive packet to be sent.... " ] But it' dependent on the
