3.2.2.1.1 KeepAlive interval

  • Article

KeepAlive interval is a protocol variable that can be changed by higher layers. Implementations of this protocol SHOULD interpret this variable as the maximum time interval that a higher layer can wait before it establishes with certainty whether the server has dropped out of a conversation.

The higher-level Remote Procedure Call Protocol Extensions specify usage of this in [MS-RPCE] section 3.3.2.2.1. In TCP RPC transport (ncacn_ip_tcp), the Remote Procedure Call Protocol Extensions specify that the keep-alive interval is changed. In HTTP RPC transport, this protocol variable is changed instead.
